To Know and be Known

Meeting the Parents—Things to Know:

1. Take off your shoes before walking in the Family room (don't worry, they'll tell you to leave them on, but it looks good that you thought of taking them off)
2. Say 'hi' to everyone and make sure you're nice to Snow. This is important. 
3. Be nice to my sisters (at least for the first couple weeks; this is their request).
4. My friends call my parents 'Auntie' and 'Uncle' but just ask them how they want to be addressed.
5. Don't talk too much!!! Pause before you answer and leave them opportunities to ask you questions (they may have a lot). 
6. If you ask them questions, keep them short and not too invasive.
