THINGS THAT JUST AIN'T A GONNA HAPPEN AT MY AGE

Man Friend met my parents for the first time Sunday which resulted in this conversation Saturday:

"What time do you want to meet up with my folks tomorrow?"

"((CENSOR)). I forgot all about that. I was going to get a hair cut. Why didn't you remind me? (Oh no he didn't.)"

"I do believe I DID just remind you. Besides, it's something important. Why didn't you remember? (That's right. I went there.)"

Come Sunday, Dad and a scraggly haired Rusty bonded over OSU football and powertools and Mom did her classic mom routine of jumping to her worse possible scenerio (but saying it as if she were joking) by asking me if he was "the One" and if she should start saving up for the wedding. I assuaged her concerns with my typical response of hands over the ears and yelling "lalala" so as not to hear her, BECAUSE I'M MATURE. Certainly mature enough to be getting married any time soon.

BUT, just maybe what I'm saying is start airing out those hunter green crushed velvet bridesmaid dresses ladies with the pretty orange sash and the puffy sleeves and the lace that goes up to your throat. Does that paint a pretty picture for you? HUH?!? DOES IT?!?

The young man still needs to pass the sister and brother-in-law test. If he forgets to get a haircut before coming out he and Mark can go down to the barbershop. It's a real Man Town down there. They drink whiskey, watch porn, and cut hair. That's why it takes 2 hours for him to get his head shaved a 1/4 inch.

I look good in hunter green and orange.

I'm pretty sure Man Friend wouldn't forget to have his hair cut if they had something like that in his tiny little town. Though Man Friend doesn't drink whiskey. It offends his delicate nature.

And NO ONE looks good in hunter green and orange (which is why those will be the colors because I'll look effing G-O-R-G-O-U-S by comparison).

I've never seen you drink whiskey so I just assumed. So I guess what I'm saying, Tiff, is tell Trini it's a man date.

Trini says he'll be drinking Hennessey. Have fun at the barber shop Rusty!
