First Impression

It was my first dinner with his family.
“What’d you say when my dad asked you to meet Tori?”
“What do you mean?”
“He asked you to meet my sister and what did you say?”
“I don’t really remember.”
“He said he asked if you met my sister and then you said step sister.”
“Oh…sorry.”
“Well just don’t correct him. And eat with your mouth closed and don’t put your elbows on the table.”
I nod.
“And don’t talk with your mouth full.” he added.
The night was filled with silent nods and polite smiles.
