Mother's Day

From the "Because in This Family We Just Make Fun of Everything Instead of Actually Talking About Our Feelings" Files

On the phone with my mother Sunday, shortly after she told Dad she didn't want to talk to me.

Me: Thanks for being my mom!

Mom: Uh, ok. Not like I had much choice in the matter. I mean, I guess it depends on how you define "choice."

Me: Well, you didn't leave me on someone else's doorstep or something!

Mom: *laughing* I suppose that's true.

Me: So, you know, thanks for that.
