Tell me i'm not crazy (This time)

I'm just confused.

Earlier yesterday, my parents kept dropping none-too-subtle hints about me invitingflyingcircuits to my cousin's bar mitzvah in March as my guest. I wasn't sure about subjecting her to hours in a temple, especially since my aunt and uncle are kinda on my shit list, and to be quite honest, i'm scared of being in a public situation with Jack (aforementioned cousin).


So, blah blah blah i kept saying no (No offense, Erica, i'm just trying to look out for you here.) and my parents were like, "Are you 1000% sure?"

I wasn't. I figured if i had to suffer, Erica did too, why the hell not, right?
 

Long story short, i came home from work, and told Mom i'd invited Erica as my guest. Like they'd suggested, and i decided to.
 

Mom tells me, "I'm not sure if you can do that. I think you'd need to check with Uncle Al."

Wait, what?

"You were telling me to take someone as my guest," said I.

"Well," said she. "If you take a guest, it's really if you're taking a date."
 

So basically, one thing you kept saying i should do...i shouldn't? What?

The thing is, she seemed so...surprised that i brought it up.


Hey, Erica...do you think it's time to tell everyone we've been lesbian lovers all these years?

I really don't think people will be shocked
