Dear Diary
Mom and dad invited Matthew and his family for dinner!
I wanted to crawl under the table and die. They don't know anything about how embarrassing they are. Like it totally just skips over their heads.
I think Matthew was almost as mortified as I was when Daddy did his disappearing fork trick. What, are we 7 years old or something? Seriously! I have to call Jennifer tonight and tell her what's been going on.
Matthew and his sister, Cassandra, went with me to play Tekken Tag in my room (where I totally ruled, thank you very much!) while the 'rents did the "get to know you" thing in the living room.
I thought the worst was over.
I thought the entire night could turn out okay, after all.
Ah, but the world has a way of laughing in my face!
We were playing, and Cassandra was making fun of Matthew because he was horrible compared to both of us, and there was a knock at the door.
It opened.
Mom stood there grinning like... I dunno, do yetis grin?
Then she says, "Courtney, you know better than to close this door with a boy in here -- no hanky panky!"
I wanted to melt into the rug.
I think I tried.
Cassandra giggled so hard she snorted.
I glared at her.
I looked over at Matthew...
and the GOOBER was grinning from ear to ear at me! AUGH! Boys SUCK!
