I was going to introduce Boyfriend to my family because they had never met him before when I was called away to work - I had to babysit my boss's 3-year-old son for an hour and a half, which meant that I was going to be an hour late to meet my parents and
Nic. I had to go otherwise I would have been fired. When I got to the daycare where her son was, there were a lot of other kids but all the other kids were of the same family - Bart and
Lily from
Gossip Girl were the parents. I thought I had to put on a mascot-like costume but I refused to do that. After an hour and a half of watching my boss's kid, I ran back to this place that looked like a mall food court, where my parents and
Nic were supposed to be, but my mom was off by herself reading a newspaper at a different table than the one the rest of my family and Boyfriend were sitting at. I asked her what happened to make her sit by herself because I was worried that something had gone wrong with
Nic, but she told me she just was waiting for me and catching up on the news so I was relieved.
Then
Nic turned into Fla.-J. and we were doing a paint-by-numbers of these large men playing golf - I think it was the picture that was on the front page of yesterday's Bee.
Addendum
I was just reading Uni Watch and there is a reference to paint-by-numbers. Yet another example of my family's MO: Everything we say, happens.
