When I met the parentsWhen my g/f first met my parents for lunch, my Dad leant over and ate food off her plate. My mother was mortified, I was a bit confused, she thought it was wonderfull and that she'd been accepted.
We at B3ta are sure you've had worse than this though... tell us all about it.

"The Angel Picture"I'd been seeing a woman for a few weeks. After me and her running into my parents at the store, I figured it was time for the "official" meeting. So a few days later off we go to my parents' house.
Mom likes her wine. Sometimes she goes a little overboard, and when she does, she gets really sentimental and teary-eyed. I just happened to pull the lucky number and show up on a "bad" night.
After about 30 minutes of normal conversation, my mom leaves the room, and comes back with a picture I hadn't seen before. It is of two angels watching over a sleeping baby. Mom has tears in her eyes.
"Sniff - When I have grandchildren - sniff - I am going to hang this picture *sniff!* over the crib! Boo hoo hooooo!"
Stunned silence. Disbelief. Nervous glances between the GF and myself.
15 years later, still no children. I'm told the angel picture still exists, ready and waiting. Maybe I'll become a Catholic priest...
