I'm meeting my boyfriends parents for the first time ever for a thanksgiving dinner.?

Q: I know you're all gonna say be yourself and all that, but I dont want to hear it. I AM gonna be myself. But what should I do to make a good impression?? Should I bring food or some sort of gift or something?

A: Bring a small flower arrangement or bottle of wine (If his parents drink)... If you were going to bring food you should already have talked to his parents and arranged what you would bring so they already knew... Offer to pitch in with clean-up and set-up.... When I first met my husbands parents it was 2 days before our wedding (I had talked by phone with them quite often) the evening I met them I made them a dinner at my house... During the course of the meal I was shaking a container of homemade Ranch salad dressing, the lid came off and I proceeded to cover my Mother-in-law in with the dressing( I couldn't stop shaking it I even continued after it was empty I was in shock) My Fiance (now husband) said "Stop covering my Mom in dressing." His mom didn't skip a beat she said "Don't you tell her what to do, maybe I like being covered in dressing." We had a good laugh about it as I got her some of my clothes to wear she has since told me how badly she felt because she could see I was so shocked my brain just turned off and I kept shaking... LOL Just remember if you don't cover his Mom in dressing your meeting will have gone far better than mine and I still married him 2 days later :)
