That This Group Must Somehow Feed A Family

Aaron was already stressed about having my parents over for dinner for the first time. Then he realized I have ten parents.

Just a typical family situation these days, right? But one thing Aaron won’t have to worry about is the flatware. This 65-piece Oneida brings classic styling and 18/10 stainless-steel elegance to 12 place settings. That’s a salad fork, place fork, place knife, place spoon, and teaspoon for each guest, plus an array of serving utensils.

And we’ll need every last piece tonight. There’s my Mom, a successful psychiatrist, and my Dad, a well-connected corporate attorney. They split up when I was little, so there’s also Mom’s husband Roger, and Dad’s wife Sherry. There’s Dad’s second wife, Paula, who basically raised me for a few years after Mom and Dad separated, and of course Paula’s current husband Bobby is coming, since he’s not currently incarcerated. Then there’s Roger’s first wife, Maria. And Mom’s old boyfriend/guru Wayne, and his two wives, Gayle and Noma. Mom’s spiritual journey took her on another path years ago, but I have such great memories of growing up on Wayne’s compound. It just wouldn’t feel right to leave them out. And me and Aaron make twelve!

Aaron’s kind of sensitive to my family thinking he’s some kind of immature man-child, but this Oneida set says “grownup” with every graceful curve. So Aaron can take his mind off the flatware and give his full attention to parrying Dad’s aggressive political arguments and Mom’s inappropriate questions about his potty-training. This is going to be a night to remember!
