Manila, Philippines: Day 3

Well today was not a good day! It was great as far as Ivy is concerned but the flop was we decided that I should meet the parents. Mother first: We met at the mall and had lunch. Maybe there should be a little background first. Ivy has kept me and our relationship a secret from everyone except a few of her close friends. So you can imagine the mothers surprise when we meet for lunch and she thinks I am a new found friend only to discover that we have been conversing for some months and that I flew half way around the world to meet Ivy and she has been staying at the hotel with me for 2 days and the parents thought she was at a school function.

So I was bombarded with questions of every sort! I was accused of being a thief, murderer, druggie, disease spreader, alcoholic and many other things. I was presumed guilty! It was implied that Ivy was a little girl and incapable of being smart enough to have already asked and verified everything that was brought up. I was very obliging at the start but quickly became aggravated as the questions became accusations. So me being the rebel that I am I clammed up and told Ivy it was time to go.
