yesterday, MH and i got to his mom's house only to find out that everyone was still at work. so we let ourselves in and made ourselves at home. we took advantage of this quiet time to relax and watch tv upstairs before the onslaught on family members. as things go, one thing led to another and...ahem...anyway, you get the idea. somehow the time got away from us and either the tv was on too loud or we just weren't paying attention because we didn't hear anyone approaching the door.
in the longest second ever known to man, i heard the door click, saw two sets of eyes make eye contact with mine as i scrambled to grab a blanket, we all shrieked and mumbled, "sorry! sorry!". the door slammed and i buried my face in the blanket absolutely mortified. MORTIFIED! the funny thing was, was that i couldn't stop laughing. it was so funny yet so excruciatingly mortifiying all at the same time. MH wasn't sure whether i was laughing or crying but i assured him that i was only laughing. quietly dying inside, but still laughing. when i could finally breathe i seethed: why didn't you LOCK the door?! i thought i did, he said.
so yeah, that's how i met MH's grandma.
i contemplated sneaking out from the second story window and never seeing anyone in his family ever again, but knew that was pretty impractical. so we laughed some more, regained composure and joined the rest of the family downstairs. they were either more traumatized than i was or had a good sense of humor about it because they didn't make me feel uncomfortable. actually, his family made me feel very welcome that night and i was pleased to be a part of his family's mini-reunion.
so now the worst is over, concerning meeting his family. his dad and brother live in mexico, so unless MH and i get really serious, i won't have to bound that hurdle. but if i can win over his grandma, his mom, and his sister, i think we'll be ok.

PRICELESS!
um, i just laughed outloud at work.
i agree with joe: priceless!
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!
HA!
Well, it makes a good story anyway (although probably not one that will get passed onto the kids :-))
OMG. That is so NOT what I was expecting to read about your meeting the grandma! Hahahaha!
Now ... Imagine telling THAT story to your children/grandchildren. At least you'll have some not-boring stories under your hat!
I thought that sort of thing only happens on sitcoms or romantic comedies. It sounds like it's a wonderful family to be part of, perhaps permenantly some day (soon?).
no f-ing way...
I don't think I've ever done more than sit on the sofa with a BF in my parent's house...
Hil.Ar.I.Ous.
I had an ex-boyfriend's brother walk in on us once. Also had a roommate walk in on me once. (Clearly I need to learn how to operate locks better.) But grandma?! Oh, that is awesome.
LOL!! I would havd died right there on the spot.
But how were the tamales?
:-D
That is fricken' hilarious!!! Sounds like something straight from a tv show!
"How very nice to meet you while I'm . . . .your Grandson!"
That's how I met my sister-in-law. I still laugh about it, 6 yrs later, she doesn't. (her & my brother were....)
BUT my petty opinion is if you meet the women in his life (mom, sister, etc) & it all go well, the men will be NO problem
I have to call my brother & tell him this tho, his sense of humor is better than his wife's
OMFG! I think I would have seriously considered the window!! You are so freaking funny!
Oh.my.God. Sounds like you handled it great! I don't think I would have left his room until everyone was asleep or gone!
Oh. God.
I never really pictured that happening in real life -only in a movie or something.
HAHA!!
