With the seats next to the campfire now vacated, you opt to get a little visiting time with mom and dad before getting into the <span class="mu-s">REAL HIJINX</span> begin! Shuffling over in your parka, your parents hear you coming long before you approach!
“Seriously, Stan?” Asks pops as he takes a sip from a mug of cocoa. What? “You’re gonna catch your <span class="mu-s">DEATH</span> if you don’t bundle up a little more, y’know. Go grab a sweater from the car.”
<span class="mu-i">DaaaAAaAAAdd</span>, you groan in protest, the car’s, like, a MILE away! And you wanna relaaaaax!
“Suit yourself!” He laughs as he pats the chair next to him. “What are you doing over here with the old fogies anyways?”
“Yea!” Adds your mom as she leans in from next to your dad, “You haven’t seen your brother in ages… not to mention you brought your new girlfriend-”
<span class="mu-s">EEEW</span>, you sputter, sending droplets of cocoa all over the campfire, what the hell has Mitzi been telling them!? You’re just friends, <span class="mu-i">GOSH!</span>
“Hey, it’s fine with us!” Shrugs dad as mom nods in agreement, “Your brother’s fulfilled the grandkid requirement, so go nuts!”
You <span class="mu-i">knew</span> it, you growl as Mitzi waves at you with a cheeky grin on her dumb face, you <span class="mu-i">knew</span> they’d pull this shit!
“Oh relax, honey…” Scolds mom as she leans against dad’s shoulder, “He’s just <span class="mu-i">playing</span>, you know that…” As she gives your dad a playful shove, a predatory glint appears in her eye! “Though I <span class="mu-i">WOULD</span> like to meet more of the friends you made… Mitzi told us you met another janitor?”
<span class="mu-i">Evening Sanitation Coordinator</span>, mom! And that’s… you’re not-
“No need to explain, kiddo.” Dad interrupts with a knowing nod, “If you want to be in one of those ‘Opened Relationships’ or whatever they call them that’s up to you.”
“Yep, the more the merrier at Thanksgiving!” Snickers mom!
OhmiGOD, <span class="mu-s">STOOOOP!</span>
