Meet the Parents

I was very nervous introducing NotMexican to my parents. He is totally different from my other boyfriends, and well... Indian parents are very harsh. They don't quite put their kids interests before their own.

So I prepped NotMexican and told him what to say and what to wear. If my parents saw his tattoos, it would be all over. As much as I hated asking him to do this, he accepted that Indian parents are different. First impressions mean everything. After that, we can reveal the not so exciting truths.

My parents were kind and accepting but aloof. It really bother NotMexican and he was sure they hated him. I assured him that's not the case, but I'll talk to them. I told my parents that I love him. He's my choice in life. I don't know how things will ultimately pan out, but they better like him or else...

So they chose to like him.

I've been back in Boston for a few days now, settling into my apartment in Beacon Hill. It's all coming along and I can't wait for NotMexican to come visit this weekend!

Now if only this food poisoning would go away...
