Spent a few days at my fiancées mother last week. It was his birthday, so we kind of had to go there. Hanging out with people I barely know is always kind of scary. It was so hot I almost melted, and I like heat. 30C in the shade. The first night was hellish and I couldn’t sleep, so the very next day his mother cut my hair, so I could get away from some heat.
On his birthday we had a barbecue with his sisters, Pia and her fiancée David, Tina and her daughter Frida, Iza and their mother. It was a bit scary, this hanging out thing. At least David and Kentiz shared a musical interest so they actually got along. Later that evening we got invited to Pia and Davids apartment to watch a film. “Old Boy” was the film of the evening and it was nice, and David and Kentiz actually got along, which was a bit surprising.
I didn’t know how to act around Frida though. She’s almost two and I could always play with my brothers at that age, but Frida is not my kid or someone I’m related to which makes it a bit awkward. I’m scared I’ll do something wrong, or that I’ll act in a weird way.
Practice.
