preamble: this coming Friday my cousins will be flying into Canada and I figured I would take the opportunity to invite a bunch of my friends and show them (my cousins) some of Canada's clubs.
I invite a bunch of people, and one of them happens to be a EoFFer from Barrie. She went awol on our last get-together and we weren't talking to each other since, but recently started to just poke each other and say hi on facebook and etc.
Anyway I invited her with the pretense that it was a joke (I also invited Matt/Strider from California, for example). She accepts, and I go 'sweet I'll pick you up and stuff on Friday and figure things out'. The important thing is that because she lives in Barrie which is pretty far away I told her she should crash over for a night and I would get her home in the morning when I'm less drunk / tired / terrible at driving.
My mother will be entertaining other guests from various parts of the world that evening (she will be out of town along with my father). I told her a week ago about this and she didn't say anything. Tonight my mother, aunt and I went for dinner and my aunt asked me questions about said girl (how'd we meet (internet), for how long (I think 5 years or so), and etc). My mother then decided to ask me whether she spoke our language (I'm Chinese), and I go 'um...yes? I mean, what?', since we were speaking english at the time. I then realise that my mother indirectly asked me if my friend was Chinese. She then went on a rant about how if I invite friends over and things go missing it's a hassle to go through insurance (indirectly calling my friend, and anybody I invite over a thief).
I didn't even respond until the topic changed. But it bugged me.
What conclusions can you make out of this? Oh and my mother's Catholic so she thinks gay people are freaks. Have fun EoFFers, because while you can be judgemental she's my mother and I can't.
PS: For some reason I posted this to get an objective analysis.
