Day one of mom's visit

Conversation #1

• I left the pen on the counter for you mom.
• Uh, maybe you should come into the kitchen for a minute.
• Yeah
• Uh, maybe I shouldn't use the pen on the counter, maybe somewhere else.
• Why? Oh, I'll try to get the ink off the corian countertop tomorrow mom.

Conversation #2

• I was looking at at your drawings. You really are an artist, you know. No getting around that you really are.
• Why thank you mom. That's just about the nicest thing you've ever said to me.
• You just don't do anything about it. You don't have any push. You really need to make an effort.
• Thank you mother for that momentary lapse in your personality there. Don't you remember that conversation we had before?  You were to treat me like a total stranger?  Right?

Oh, mothers! They're all the same. I remember it well. :-(

She is such a sweet lady!

As I've told dbd more often then I can count - SHE's NOT YOUR MOTHER. But yes, I know I'll miss her.
