Baby Showers

Have you ever gone to a party where the only person you knew was the hostess or host?
One of your co-workers is expecting a baby in a few months and her family is holding a Baby Shower for her and since you are her "Best Friend" at work they invited you.  The whole thing begins very nice and friendly and ends up like one of those, "it sounded like a good idea at the time" things.
At  work Linda is the sweetest creature God ever created but then you meet her family and you begin to wonder if she may have been adopted.

Her brother Ralph keeps eying you like some demented creature.  You find out later that Ralph lives with his parents in their basement even though he is thirty-five.  His Mother says he is quite normal and she has proof because he was tested.  He tells you that he is studying to be a computer programer by playing video games all day long and taking on-line GED classes at night.  He is unemployed because he is waiting for that career opportunity where he can express his true creativity. 
Linda's Grand Mother Gertrude, spends her days watching old videos of her younger self on Wild Kingdom.  You ask Linda if her Grand Mother is feeling okay and Linda informs you that her Grand Mother just has a bad cough.  To you the old girl sounds like a steam locomotive on it's last run up Red Mountain Pass to Silverton from Durango and you find out her Cough is from her being a chain smoker for the past 50 years. 
Linda's father seems like a nice old guy in the beginning but after a few adult beverages he starts looking at you like you may become his next meal. After awhile when he is talking to you, he tends to put his big old paws all over you  as if he is checking out for the tender parts.
In the end you tell Linda that you have a family thing to go to and leave the Baby Shower early.  And in the end you probably feel like you may have gotten out of there with you life still intact.
