10/9/22 Mijo's Girl Finally Came Over To Hang?

     Poor Mijo, his relationship thus far, has been full of technicalities, this was not much different, but at least she did come.  He has been telling us for the last three weekends that she was going to come over, then something happens, and it falls apart.  This weekend, we finally didn't have much going on, with him hurting his ankle at his game Thursday night, we were homebound, to allow him to rest it as much as possible.

    I thought it was just going to be a casual afternoon, her coming over, the parents are finally accepting that they might have a relationship brewing, hell, she's probably coming over to nurse our young jock after his injury.  That is not what the mom gave off, in fact, she came over and was pretty stern about them working on their FAFSA and other application forms for college.  I was thinking "is she for real?"  I don't care if they do work on that kind of stuff, but lady, you are only kidding yourself if you think that is why your daughter wants to come and hang out with our husky boy.  We did have to promise that we wouldn't allow them to be upstairs in his room alone, that is just not proper for a young lady, she told us.  I of course agree with all that, and that is what we told her, but it's not like my son is going to try and impregnate her while we are downstairs.  Right on cue, about five minutes after mom left, Mijo was asking if they could go upstairs to hang out in his room, with the door open.  I so wanted to say yes, we trust our boy, but we told the mom we would watch their daughter, so we said no.  Best we can do is give you the living room, we'll leave you alone, this was mostly okay, they sat and watched most of the Cowboy's game.

    The had already talked about the menu, so I made some steaks and baked potatoes on the grill, and she keeps saying she loves cheese, so I bought like 4 different kinds of cheese and made a charcuterie board, complete with some salami, grapes, and strawberries.  We kept them fed the entire time, I even made some wings to go between the cheese and steaks, I thought it was a pretty good Sunday afternoon.  I think Mijo was happy with the result, he had his girl here for a few hours, hopefully, the mom will relax and start trusting us even more, so the girl can hang with us for longer bits of time.  Wife was trying to invite her for Fright Fest in San Antonio at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, but she says she scares too easily and that might be too much for her.  I think the girl needs to experience life a bit more, but it's a good starting point for Mijo.
