So when Andrew invites him to spend Christmas with his family in Connecticut, it would be pretty crappy to turn down the invitation, despite not being sure how he would fit in with Andrew's very white, very wholesome family. As soon as they get there, Kev and Andrew are greeted with over-active and curious children, and many harried--and curious--adults.
