GOOD NEWS!!!! My father didn’t body slam Rob! The night went swimmingly! We got to DeLo’s just past 8 and my parents joined us after about 10 minutes. I was a little disappointed Rob didn’t greet them with his Sylvester “Rocky” Stallone impression. Perhaps it was for the best. The first words out of my mother’s mouth were, “You are soooooo CUTE!! Much better than the picture posted on donnaville!” My dad was very friendly and talkative to Rob. You might be thinking, “Isn’t that pretty normal?” Not really. I haven’t introduced many men to my parents but on the few occasions I did, my father ignored each and everyone. My dad ordered three pies: Meatball, Sausage & Mushroom, and a white spinach pie, 1/2 clam & 1/2 anchovies. I am not sure if Rob thought the pizza was the best in the world but he ate a slice of each. Before we left, Lisa, the cheeky gal she is, tried to scare Rob. “Don’t worry, Rob! My dad is a really great guy, you have nothing at all to fear. He really has mellowed with age and he is rarely belligerent anymore. Hey, Donna, you remember that time that car cut us off and Daddy followed him to that restaurant parking lot and grabbed the guy out of the car and threw him against the hood?”
“Yeah, that was right after he shot a man in Reno just to watch him die, right?”

I guess the best part of the whole evening was that Rob didn’t take off screaming. He stayed and appeared to actually enjoy my parents’ company. How cool is that?
