Meeting Your Boyfriend’s/Girlfriend’s Parents 


Ronny: Ready? 


Judy: Ready as I’ll ever be. 


Ronny: Try to work up a little enthusiasm about meeting my parents. 


Judy: It’s not them I’m worried about. It’s me. What if I don’t pass muster 1


Ronny: My parents are going to love you. They’re open-minded and nonjudgmental people. They won’t care about anything except that I like you and you make me happy. 


Judy: Me and parents are like oil and water. I’ve never been good at making a good first impression. 


Ronny: Then you’ll gradually win them over. Meeting my parents will be a cakewalk. They’re nice people. It’s not like you’ll be running the gauntlet meeting my nine brothers. 


Judy: You didn’t tell them I’d be meeting your parents tonight, did you? 


Ronny: I may have mentioned it to Mark. Why? 


Judy: What if they decide to show up and ambush 2 me? 


Ronny: They won’t. 


Judy: If you found out that one of your brothers were bringing a girlfriend home to meet your parents, wouldn’t you want to be there? 


Ronny: You have a point there, but it’s too late to back out now. Put on your game face and let’s go, or we’ll be late. 


Judy: Okay, but just don’t be surprised if I make a break for it.
