'rents?

I was a bit taken aback by the fact that as I was helping settle penguin into his place he announced his parents would be over shortly, and as long as I was comfortable I was welcome to stay for their visit. I was a bit shocked by it all. I can't remember the last time I met the parents of anyone I was dating. I helped clean up a bit, we worked well together in that aspect. It was refreshing not to be barked at and instead just did our own parts of the cleaning and making everything perfect.

I love the parents accent. His mother joked and even gave me a knowing wink during the conversation. I know they were trying to figure out what the status of us was. I was a coworker, and I was comfortable enough in the home to put away dishes and take their jackets to hang up. All in all it was a pleasant visit. So many layers to them I cannot even imagine in a short visit, but I can feel it. Not necessarily bad or good, just lots behind the veil that is shown. I guess I passed if one can pass such an experience. I closer to penguin than I every had as his parents left. He let me into his life, beyond his home, his bed, but to meet his family. I am honored. That is someone doesn't take lightly, I know that from my own experience.
