A BOY IN THE CAR!!!!!

i went to denver this weekend for a little interview. 
nothing serious, don't worry kids - just to possibly volunteer at a camp for kids with cancer during the summer. 
anyways.  i didn't want to drive down in the morning - we all know how i am in the morning - so i called the lovely markandmary and invited myself, and russell, to stay.
they made dinner reservations, but we weren't there an hour before the reservations so mary was telling me how she was calling to cancel our reservations and was saying something along the lines of "we need to cancel because half our party isn't here.  oh they just pulled up.  but we still need to - THERE'S A BOY IN THE CAR!!!!"  (she said the girl on the phone to her was just laughing...)
i told them i was bringing a friend, but apparantly they just assumed it would be a girl friend.  perhaps these days if it's a boy it can't be just a friend?  i thought that was like in the old days? like the 70's?  (HAHAHAHA)  to say the least, they were a little shocked.  and mark had to call home and find out about "the boyfriend"  who isn't my boyfriend, and who has also never met my parents.
