Meet the Family

Sunday rolls around and as we are getting ready to go home her sister calls. Jen asks me do I want to stop and meet Maria and her husband Rich on the way home since we will be passing their exit anyways. Sure, why not. The weekend was a partial disaster; why not throw in me meeting her sister and her possibly hating me for converting her sister.
We decide to meet at the Petsmart by them as they were about to get a puppy and needed to get some things. So we walk in and we find them, they are very warm and welcoming. So far so good. They ask if we want to grab a drink…do I have a choice at this point? We head to a local pub that has tvs all over for the Sunday football games. We are going thru pitcher after pitcher of beer but I know not to drink too much for two reasons, one because I’m driving and two I need to keep my wits about me.

I'm having a perfectly lovely time when Jen and Maria decide they have to go to the bathroom. Off they go as Rich and I are sitting there talking. They wander back to the table and decide they want to go have a cigarette. I tell Jen I want to get on the road when she gets back. "No problem babe, I won’t be long." I reach into my pocket and pull out forty dollars to cover our food and drinks. I don’t want us to look like mooches. Rich ever so nicely goes, "no we got this."

I said "no Rich; we don’t expect you guys to pay for us." I said "here, take it."

He reluctantly does. Maria walks back over to the table and sees the forty sitting there. She looks at me and goes, “What is this?”. Rich explains that it’s from me for our share of the tab. She goes, “oh hell no”, take it back."

I go, "um no…it’s for our share of tab."

She goes “fine…first you go down my sister’s pants, now you won’t take your money back."

WOW…ok, time to go……Finally on the road and I tell Jen what Maria said, she goes, she’s drunk…don’t worry about it. MMHMMM.
 December goes off pretty well, that is until the night of the 29th… that’s when all hell breaks loose.
