1. Him praying to ward off the powers of Xenu when we say grace.
2. Either of my parents taking out their teeth. Because they both still have theirs.
3. Dad bringing a gun along with him to clean, since we’re going to be eating at Red Lobster I think it’s unlikely. I could be wrong though.
4. Anyone breaking into song. This usually only happens at Olive Garden when Grannie is there. “Wheeeeeeen the moon hits your eye…”
5. Dad ordering gizzards.
6. My parents revealing the existence of “Blanket” to Kevin…because he already knows.
7.
8.
9. Paw Paw showing up. Not that it would be a problem, but it’s better to break a person in with my parents first.
10. Either of my parents asking me if I’m going to break up with Kevin anytime soon. They wouldn’t say that in front of him, in fact, Mom would never say it. But Dad and Grannie ask me that every time they talk to me. Paw Paw hasn’t acknowledged the existence of any other man in my life. At least not to me.
11. My brothers beating him up. Because they won’t be there.
12. Dad doing something weird with his finger that’s missing the end. I don’t think he’ll stick it up to his nose or anything, though he likes to do that.
13. My parents not liking him. And that’s a wonderful feeling.

That’s a great list and I’m glad you don’t have to worry about those things (or most of them anyway). Is he nervous? I hope not and I hope all goes well. Good Luck to you!
What a cute list!! I like your blog too..very pretty layout!! Happy TT!
Hope you have fun with your boyfriend meeting your parents! I still remember when my husband met my parents for the 1st time. Thankfully, it’s a good memory!
Lol! Great list. Your parents sound like a riot. I can only imagine the fun tricks your dad can think of to highlight his short finger.
Although, I particularly like gizzards. I think they are yummy. I love them in a gumbo!!!
Have a lovely Thursday!
ooh! meeting the parents!!!! good luck, although it sounds like you won’t need it! happy tt!
Sounds like you have both…great parents and a great boyfriend. I hope ya’ll have the best of times!!! Thanks for sharing (and the humor)! Happy TT!
“Either of my parents taking out their teeth. Because they both still have theirs.” *ROFL*
What a fun list!
I´m sure about #13 - Have fun on the day they´ll meet each other!
Sounds like you’re a gal in love. I just met my daughters bf. It went well. Don’t worry.
Wishing you well when you take your boyfriend to meet your parents. We sometimes worry, though, when there isn’t anything to worry about.
Check out my TT.
That was a fun post.
My 13 are up.
LOVE it! Your family is amazingly colorful, know that?
Happy TT, and do well in school; you’ve got great material to write about close to home — but I don’t advise doing it. I knew a woman who did, the family recognized themselves, and then she wondered why they all returned her wedding invitations, unopened!
LOL! Thanks for the laugh this morning. That’s a great list! Hope all goes well!
Great list! I think you’ll be safe in Red Lobster. I once went out to dinner here in VA and my Mass brotherinlaw said he’d have an otta of chicken wings and the waitress thought he was trying to order an otter. My are just the ticket.
Hi Elizabeth. Nice blog, but anything with 13 on it is ok by me.
My sweetheart and I were married on Friday the 13th. And, as that was 48 years ago next month, it apparently was my lucky day.
I introduced my eventual bride to my folks after our first date. We stopped by the house, as I’d already told them I’d marry her, and I thought it would be good to get that out of the way. It went so well that they told me if I DID marry her, I’d better never dump her as I’d have to change MY name and SHE would move back in with them.
I did a tribute to her on my blog, for Christmas. I didn’t have to shop, it was cheap to do, and she liked it. That’s a Christmas guy-trifecta.
Sounds like he’s a winner! Happy TT!
Whoops if you do want to check out my blog, the prior link is probably bad. It’s

Another funny post, Elizabeth! My stepfather was actually cleaning his gun when my hubby asked for my hand. And my mom always called all of us a passle of Yankees after we moved away from Texas.
Totally cute thirteen
especially the giggling part! I’m a guilty giggler too, no one has to do anything and I’ll just start laughing uncontrollably…ooppsies lol
This is a great TT - your title caught my eye on the hub - very very fun… what is it with dads and gizzards??!??!??!
Great list, keep repeating it over and over again to yourself, because it will still be nervewracking
ROFLMAO! Possibly you won’t have to worry about gizzards at Red Lobster, but I’m a yankee, what do i know
Great list… very funny.
Good luck! :o)
