September 2004
My sophomore year at NIU had just started and my mother was visiting the townhouse. To be honest, I hated when my parents showed up, they were always interfering with my drinking and party recovery. These activities were frowned upon by them, so like any typical college kid it was something I tried to hide.
My mother was cutting into me and Leela’s drinking time at the House of David and we were anxious for her to leave. Just when my mother was about to leave, there was a knock at at our back door. I answered it to see 3 House of David guys standing with 40s in their hands. Oh shit. They were wondering what was taking us so long. When they saw that my mother was there they came in to say hi to her.
I was flipping out in my head, “Oh my god they’ve got beer in their hands! She’s going to think all my friends are drunks and she’s going to hate them!”They were pretty drunk. Too fucking drunk to meet my mother. And yes, they did make asses of themselves in front of her.
Ando, in his drunkeness, thought we were Filipino and tried to speak Tagalog.
Ando: -speaking drunk Tagalog-
Mother of the Lynx: “What?”
Ando: -repeating drunk Tagalog-
Lynx: “Why are you talking in a foreign language?”
Ando: “You’re Filipino! You’re supposed to understand me! “
Young Russy kept trying to hug her and kiss her hand.
Lynx: “I think you need to get off my mom now.”
Young Russy: “Isn’t this what Asian people do? I’m trying to be nice!”
And Sharky kept blurting out, “She’s so hot. Lynx’s mom is so fucking hot!”
I was completely horrified. I kept hitting him to get him to shut up but he wouldn’t be quiet. Leela of course was more entertained by this than I was. We did a very unsuccessful job of trying to get the guys to leave our place. When my mother left, I yelled at the guys to never fucking do that again otherwise I would shove a 40 oz. up their asses.
The next day, I got a call from my mother.
Mother of the Lynx: “Those boys from yesterday, they stunk of alcohol. Are you sure they’re not doing drugs? I think you need to find new friends, they’re not good boys. And that one boy, he was a manslut* trying to touch me! “
* She was speaking in Asian and this is the best/closest translation for the actual word she used.
