family ties

As are now Best-Good Friends, and is most certainly a Best-Good Friend-type activity, was invited out to meet Js parents this weekend. Have a v. good sense of just how bizarre above situation is, but at the time, was quite nice. Am no longer in love with J, but with his mother. JMother is absolute most lovely person have ever met.

JM: He can be such a little pain, can't he? But you gotta love that pain.
H: Yes, you do.
JFather: You make him be good to you. I'm sure he can be tough to date.
H: Well, he was. But we don't date anymore, so it's some other girl's problem, I guess.
JM: (Looking disappointed) Oh, well...
JF: His loss! I don't know what's wrong with that boy.
J: (returning from loading Mother gifts into car) You ready?
H: Yeah. It was so wonderful to finally meet you.
JM: (giving enormous hug) Don't you let him drive too fast!
J: What's she going to do?
JM: Pry your foot off the accelerator. And you put the top up on your car. She's going to freeze. Do you need a jacket, honey?
H: No, no. Thank you. I'll be fine. He'll put the top up.
JM: Let me get you a jacket...
J: Mom, I have a heater! And I'll put the top up. Damn!
JM: Don't talk like that. Now, drive safe.
J: Yes, mommy.

Was something out of charming sitcom. Was v. in love with JFamily.

Am turning into train-wreck of person with all this drama. Am fairly certain will be a made-for-tv movie in no time (Probably starring grown child star from cheesy sitcom). Am also fairly certain will end with yours truly rocking back and forth on porch, surrounded by Reluctant Kittens, talking of the boy who didn't love her. Will die alone. Perhaps will get Justine Bateman to play grown self, as is in need of work. Indeed.
