I wasn't going to talk about this, because I didn't want to jinx anything. I'm still pretty sure I will. But there's this girl. She's on one of the football squads I coach. Brilliant, beautiful, and a bloody good midfielder. I've taken her to a couple events at Union Church, we've had a few meals. Everything had been going smashingly until last night. When I met her parents. The conversation went something like this:
"So you're Reena's football coach?"
"Yes ma'am, for about a year now."
"We have heard you are also involved in some Hollywood nonsense."
"Tangentially. My biological father..."
"Your biological father? Were you adopted?"
"No, no just he and my Mother..."
"Yes we all know how babies are made. So your parents are divorced?"
"No. He and my mother were never married."
"Such poor values to come from. But I suppose a child can't pick it's parents. So your biological father is involved in Hollywood nonsense?"
"Yes. He and his wife and family..."
"How many children does he have?"
"Two. But his wife is pregnant with twins..."
"So late in life. His wife must be much younger."
"She is."
"Your family is too vulgar. Reena why don't you find a nice Indian boy?"
And that was that. So her parents hate me. Lovely.
