Let me tell you that I have made a bad mistake this evening.

My girlfriend (who let me tell you is only my 2nd girlfriend of all time) said I am "invited to dinner" with her and her parents. I was very aghast, nervous, and bashful to be invited to such a situation. But I knew it must be done.

I met them nicely, I should tell you, and it started off in a good way. The idea slapped my mind that I should do a comic bit, to make a good impression and become known to them as a person who is amusing.

When I saw that chicken wings were served I got the idea that it would be very good if I pretended I did not know what chicken wings were. That would be funny.

Well let me tell you: backfired on my face. I'll tell you how.

So first when the chicken wing became on my plate, I acted very interesting. I showed an expression on my face so as to seem that I was confused, astounded but in a restrained way, curious, and interested. They did notice, and seemed confused, but did not remark. So I asked "This looks very interesting. What is this?"

They stared at me and the mother said "It's a chicken wing." And I was saying "Oh, interesting, a chicken wing....what is it again?"

And she was like "A chicken wing."

And I was like "A 'chicken wing', oh interesting. Never heard of a chicken wing, looks pretty good."

And then they didn't see I was clowning, but thought I really did not know what is a chicken wing. So I knew I would be very shamed, humiliated, depressed, and disgusted if I admitted to making a bad joke, so what I did was to act as if it was not a joke but I committed to the act of pretending I didn't know what a chicken wing is.

They asked me, VERY incredulous, did I really not know what a chicken wing is? That I never heard of a chicken wing. I went with it and told them, yes, I did not ever even hear of a chicken wing. Not only had I never eaten a chicken wing I had never heard the words chicken wings.

This went on for a bit and my girlfriend was acting very confused and embarrassed by my "****ed up antics", and then the more insistent I was about not knowing what a chicken wing is was when them parents starting thinking I DID know what a chicken wing was.

Well let me tell you I had to commit 100% at this point. When I would not admit to knowing what a chicken wing was, the father especially began to get annoyed. At one point he said something like "Enough is enough. You're ****ing with us. Admit it." And I said "Sir, before today I never heard of a chicken wing. I still don't know what a chicken wing is, other than some kind of food. I don't know what to tell you."

Well let me tell you he got very annoyed. I decided to take a bite of the chicken wing, and when I did I made a high pitched noise and said "Taste's very strange!"

That is when the father started yelling at me, and the mother kept saying "What are you doing?" and my girlfriend went to some other room.

Finally the father said I should "Get the **** out of his house" and I said it was irrational to treat me like this just because I never heard of a chicken wing before. Well let me tell you he didn't take that kindly.

Now in text messages I have been telling my girlfriend I really don't know what a chicken wing is. The only way I can ever get out of this is for them to buy that I don't know what a chicken wing is.

I wish I never started it but I can't go back. I think she will break up with me anyway.
