Some of you may remember my chicken tetrazzini promise. Well I stuck to it. I woke up to the smell of chicken tetrazzini in the crockpot and spent the rest of the day playing Hemp Tycoon on Adult Swim with sweaty palms. Took a glass of wine, The Office, and a couple hours procrastinating after that to have the following conversation as they prepared for bed. Me: Oh, before you go to bed, I want to tell you something. Mom: What? Me: I'm gay. Mom: Are you? Me: Yep. Mom: Okay. Dad: (brushing his teeth in the bathroom, but listening) Me: Yeah, Thanks for not being crazy. my brother knows too. Mom: Hell, it's your business. How long has he known? Me: Couple years. Dad: *spit* Well, I suspected since about then. Good night! Well, there we go. I finally got to try chicken tetrazzini (needs salt) and there are fewer awkward surprises down the line. I also had to answer refreshingly few questions. A good day.
That's actually somewhat amusing. I dream of that happening to me with my mum, just having it as 'are you? Okay then' kind of situation like it has been with a few of my friends. BIG CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOU
When one of my friends made chicken tetrazini for the weekly get-together, we all suddenly understood why that woman was so worried about losing her man to it!
I expected a lot more questions. It didn't even turn into an actual discussion, the entire thing lasted maybe a minute or two. I knew that ultimately they would accept me, but I thought it might take an awkward period of time for adjustment. That's why I was procrastinating, but as I'm leaving home soon (halfway across the world, in fact), I was thinking of telling them pretty soon anyway. Really it was a relief to smell the chicken tetrazzini in the morning.
