1. Don't get so drunk that I throw up.
2. Don't look bored.
I believe I passed both tasks with flying (or not flying, in the case of task 1) colors. Anyone have any other in-law (or pseudo-in-law) rules that they put into practice when dealing with the whackos who raised/grew up with your bf/gf/spouse/other?
*no, bilmore, I did not do the funky chicken. or the dollar dance. and yes, I realize that makes me a humorless bitch.

I once got a call from my sister's then-boyfriend, who demanded that I pick her up from his sister's wedding. She broke rules 1 and 2. He broke the "don't leave me alone when I don't know a single soul here and there's an open bar and I know your mother hates me" rule.
