Holy shit... MEETING THE PARENTS. Nothing says "awkward" like showing up to your girlfriend's house to meet her parents, having dinner with them and basically having a conversation wherein you must abso-fucking-lutely allude the sentence, "Yes sir, I am fucking your daughter. No sir, I don't expect you to be comfortable with that. Yes, of course I'll have another beer."

I'll see your "meeting the parents" and raise you a "her meeting your parents". That's worse in my book, because as much as I love my parents, I know they are absolute world champs at saying the wrong thing.
Will my dad come out with one of his infrequent but embarrassing racially predjudiced comments? Will he happen to pick Chinese (like my girlfriend) this time, just to really dump me in the crapper? I don't think he's really all that predjudiced, but he does come from a time period when everyone would make inappropriate "jokes"... sometimes those "jokes" come back out at the worst possible time.
Will my mom decide that the time is right to discuss marriage and grandchildren? Probably. It's not like she's ever going to miss that opportunity? Neither of us want children, but since I'm an only son, it isn't likely that my mom will stop pining for grandchildren any time soon.
Will one, or both of my parents decide to make some kind of clumsy and awkward "humerous" reference to our sex life? Probably. Between them, they have managed to do so with every other girl that I've brought home to see them.
Lets face it, that's what a man's parents do, right? They say the wrong thing in front of your partner. I know in the case of my parents, they are great people, but whenever there is an awkward silence, real show-stopper "jokes" seem to be the way they prefer to break the ice.
That's when I die a little on the inside.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
