Our beloved twenties

Ready to go to the Raysons' family dinner.

So, it was already past seven in the evening, and my little dude and I were getting ready to head over to the neighbors' crib for some grub. Let me tell you, my kid was totally smitten with the new fam next door. Now, I ain't no Martha Stewart, but I whipped up a tiny cake for them, and man, it gave me such joy. And get this, my kiddo went all out and made a bunch of cute origami roses. So off we went to their place, hoping for the best.

But let me tell you, I wasn't exactly thrilled about this whole situation. I mean, come on, who has dinner with their neighbors? It's like we're living in the 1950s or something. And let's not even talk about the fact that I had to bake a cake. Me, in the kitchen, with all those ingredients? It's a disaster waiting to happen, my friend.

And don't even get me started on my son's obsession with the new neighbors. I mean, they're just regular people, right? But no, he had to go and make those darn origami roses, like they were some kind of royalty or something. It's cute, I guess, but seriously, kid, get a grip.

So there we were, walking over to their house, cake in hand, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of pessimism wash over me. I mean, what if they didn't even like cake? Or worse, what if they hated it? I'd be mortified, my friend. Absolutely mortified.

But hey, I guess we had to give it a shot, right? So we knocked on their door, cake and origami roses in tow, and hoped for the best. Who knows, maybe this whole neighborly dinner thing wouldn't be as bad as I thought. But deep down, I had a feeling it was gonna be a disaster.
_________________________________________

We show up at the Raysons' house, expecting to see Mrs. Rayson or Mr. Rayson, you know, the usual suspects.But guess what? Instead of the usual boring adults, there's this super good-looking young man standing there.Talk about a plot twist! I mean, seriously, I was intrigued for a hot second. I even questioned if I had stumbled into the wrong house. Can you believe it?

But let me tell you, my friend, this whole situation didn't sit well with me.Not one bit. I mean, who just replaces the homeowners with some random handsome dude? It's like a bad soap opera, I swear.I couldn't help but feel confused and skeptical about the whole thing.Like, what's going on here? Are we in some alternate reality or what?

Honestly, I was not impressed.Not at all.I mean, I came to see the Raysons, not some random eye candy.And let me tell you, this whole experience just reinforced my pessimistic view of the world.It's like nothing can ever go right, you know? Just when you think you know what to expect, life throws you a curveball.And not a good one, mind you.More like a "what the heck is happening" kind of curveball.

So, yeah, that's the story of how the Raysons' house turned into a confusing mess.come on, where were the Raysons? And who was this mysterious dude? Let's just say, it wasn't exactly the warm and cozy welcome I was expecting.Ugh, sometimes life can be so darn unpredictable.

Sorry. I think we are in the wrong place ..

Sera?

Ah, that's me.

Then, you are in the right place.

Grandma and grandpa are preparing the dinner table.come in..

Oh, Thank you!

His voice tone is so kind, it's almost sickening.And don't even get me started on his behavior,  it's just too good to be true. He welcomed me and my son with such niceness, it made me want to roll my eyes.But hey, at least he knows how to put on a show, right?

I have to admit, his welcoming skills were on point.He knew exactly how to make us feel comfortable.But let's not forget that it's all just an act.I mean, who can be that nice all the time? It's just not natural.I couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious of his intentions.Is he really that kind, or is he just trying to win us over?

Overall, this guy's behavior and voice tone are just too much for me.It's like he's trying way too hard to be nice.I can't help but feel a bit skeptical about it all.But hey, maybe I'm just being overly pessimistic.Maybe he really is just a genuinely nice person. But until I see some proof,I'll remain skeptical.

Just lemme take this ..

I'm just chilling, minding my own business, and this guy comes up to me.He actually takes the cake right out of my hand! Can you believe it? And then, get this, he goes and makes space for me to relax.Like, who does that? But wait, it gets even better.He leans towards my son and takes those bunch of origami roses.,smiling all lovingly. Can you believe the nerve of this guy? Ugh, I can't even.

Hello, so how are you little man?

well, i'm fine.

So there we were, standing in front of this guy who seemed to think he was the king of the world.So, this guy, comes up to my son and gives him a friendly pat.Then, without saying a word, he signals for us to tag along.Like, seriously? Who does that? But hey, we follow him anyway, because apparently, we have nothing better to do.
Anyway, this guy leads us to the open porch of the house.

Next thing I know, we're standing on this open porch, where they're setting up the dinner table.I mean, come on, couldn't they have done this inside like normal people? But no, they had to go for the whole "let's eat outside and pretend we're fancy" vibe. Ugh.

And here's the kicker: this whole situation is just so not my style.I'm not a fan of being led around like a lost puppy, It's just not my cup of tea.But hey, what can you do? Sometimes you just have to go with the flow, even if it's not your thing.

Hey, Sera.. you're here ..

So, Believe it or not, they actually welcomed me and my little munchkin with open arms.Can you believe it? Mr. Rayson even picked up my son like he was his own flesh and blood. And Mrs.Rayson? Well, she gave me the warmest, tightest hug I've ever experienced.It felt like being reunited with my own family, you know? The kind that actually gives a damn about me and my kid.It's a rare thing these days, but man, did it feel good.

I gotta say, it's pretty damn refreshing to encounter people who genuinely care.In a world full of selfishness and indifference, stumbling upon a couple like the Raysons is like finding a diamond in a pile of garbage.It's a sad reality that finding such kindness and warmth is becoming increasingly rare. But hey, at least there are still a few good souls out there, right?

I can't help but feel a sense of longing for more connections like the one I have with the Raysons.It's a reminder that there are still good people in this messed up world.It's a reminder that we shouldn't settle for anything less than genuine love and care.So, here's to hoping that more folks like the Raysons come our way, because damn, it feels good to be surrounded by people who actually give a damn.
