5 Hilariously Awkward Meet-The-Parents Stories

GETTING OFF ON THE WRONG FOOT
“When I was
13, I was invited over to my then-boyfriend’s house
for dinner. I was nervous and trying to be on my best behavior, but about halfway through the meal, I became more comfortable. Feeling frisky, I found my boyfriend’s foot. His dad looked up at me, roared with laughter, and let me know his son’s feet were not where I thought they were. I had been playing footsie with his father.”

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE?
“My boyfriend’s family was from Jordan,
and his mother had prepared some kind of chocolate-covered
treat that was native to their country and wanted me to try one. I did and immediately fell to the floor choking. It was a Jordan almond, and I’m highly allergic to almonds. I figured he would have told her that—or maybe he did and we were off on a bad foot long before I realized it!”

THE FAKE DOMESTIC GODDESS
“Early on in my relationship
with my Southern beau, I took a store-bought apple
pie to a meal with his family and tried to pass it off as homemade. Everyone was oohing and aahing about how yummy it was. Then his sister asked if it had milk in it, and before I could stop myself I said, ’Oh, I’m not sure.’ Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. ’But you made it,’ they said. ’Don’t you remember if you put milk in it?’ I stood there looking like a fool saying I couldn’t remember. Then they asked me what ingredients it did have, and I was like ’apples?’ I had no clue what to say. That was the last family meal I’ve taken food to.”

For years, my parents and I had joked
about meeting my first boyfriend. When I found myself
with a guy, we put our plans into action. My dad placed a baseball bat, an axe, and a rifle in strategic locations around the living room. When my boyfriend arrived, my dad sat him down on the couch and had him fill out an application. My mother and I laughed quietly in the kitchen. He was a good sport and answered the questions to my father's satisfaction. Then we had a lovely dinner. He left with my parents' blessing. — Alanna
