I made fake Facebook posts (that only my friends and parents to could see) with my friends and I “Netflix and chilling.”Īll of this would culminate at Christmas. We told common friends at church to also build it into conversation with my parents. Build the phrase into as much conversation as possible, while still keeping it natural. They DO like Netflix, and they enjoy chilling with each other, so they wouldn’t give it a second thought. There were lots of other ideas, but in the end we decided to hang our hat upon “Netflix and Chill.” It’s perfect. (Sorry, Mom and Dad! I’ll tell you later what it really means.) But in the end, we didn’t want my parents to accidentally say something mean, unkind or too over the line (if that’s even a thing), so RBF went off the table. We talked about telling them that “RBF” meant “really big feelings.” In fact, I have worked that into conversation a few times, so much so it has sorta stuck for me personally. I told the truth.Īs we continued to talk, we decided this wrong HAD TO BE righted. It would have been my most epic (and most evil) triumph of my life.
My parents could have learned a fake pop culture term and used it wrong. We should have said AF means “and fun” ….or I don’t know…. My sister, brother-in-law, hubs, and I sat around that fateful night and discussed this. What had I done? I let pass an amazing opportunity to prank the hell out of my parents. I literally kept replaying that moment with absolute shame. My parents continued on with the evening (and life) without giving it another thought. But I went ahead and told them what it meant and they shared in the chuckle and cuteness of the shirt. I hesitated to use the “f-word” in word of my mother since she’s so sweet and kind all the time. My dad, who’s usually pretty keyed into pop culture, asked what “AF” meant. One night, we were waiting for dinner and this cute, little couple walked up with shirts that said, “married AF.” I chuckled and told them how much I liked the shirts. We had a magical time with lots of sun, drinks and laughs. This past summer, we took an adults only vacation to Jamaica with my parents (left) and my sister and her husband (center). Now you have a little back story to know I’m not completely a jerk (okay, maybe I’m a little bit of a jerk), but here we go… Okay, maybe they love my brother and sister as much as me, but I have no problem claiming the title of “favorite” and I stand by that. It’s actually kind of gross because my dad especially enjoys still hitting on my mom and making us all gag a little. Second, my parents really love each other. All the while, my mom rolls her eyes at all us fools but secretly enjoys all the foolishness. My dad is goofy, makes lots of ridiculous dad jokes, and enjoys when I’m outlandish and off-color. First, know that I literally have the coolest parents on the planet. But before I tell you, I feel like I need to give a disclaimer. I’m pretty excited about this project because it comes with a story.
