HIS FAMILY

I have finally met Dennis' family (apart from his father who's in HK). I was getting so good at avoiding them but last Christmas he bought the tickets before I could come up with an excuse or down with an illness. Once I even used PMS as an excuse because I knew there was no way in hell he would want me around his family when I'm all bitchy and moody.

That was a lie. I'm immuned to PMS. That's my superpower.

Anyway, when I came back of course my friends wanted to know how it went. So I said I didn't crack, I didn't throw tantrums, I didn't beg to be taken home blabla but I actually love his family. His brother is very entertaining and his mother is very motherly. I now know the secret to good relationship with your boyfriend's mother.

Pick a boyfriend whose mother doesn't speak a lot of English. Hahah.

Yes, I'm lucky in that way. Not once I was put on the spot because most of the questions were directed to Dennis including the scary ones eg how serious are we. Unfortunately we forgot our Magic 8 ball so we couldn't decide what to say.

To make it all the more fun for Dennis, I didn't warn him I was going to take his mother's side all the time. It was like an unspoken competition between Dennis and me to see who was going to be more glad to come back to London. Oh what fun time.

I'm proud to have survived it but Chinese New Year is in 4 weeks.. so umm..
