mom calls tonight

Mom- when are you leaving tomorrow

Me- my usual (i.e. late) time

Mom - supposed to snow in the evening... a lot. You leave early

me - cuss cuss cuss

Mom - I'll call you to make sure you get up early (i.e. like b efore the sun comes up)

Me - no, i'll be fine. I'll go pack the car tonight so it won't take so long tomorrow (and i did)


Mom - do you want me to wrap the gifts for your brother (i.e. like usual mom overbuys gifts and I just pay her for the surplus).

Me - i can wrap them you don't have to

Mom - you wrap like you're brain damaged (true)

Me - fine, you wrap them

Mom - But then they'll know you didn't because they'll look perfect (they will, too)

Me- fine, i'll do it when i get there.

Mom - are you sure

Me - (sure as you're gonna die if you don't hush) Do what you want mom

Mom - put up the tree and the lights. It's waiting for you and I to put on the decorations

Me - Mom you know this always ends with me threatening to strangle you with the christmas lights and using your ass as a tree stand (this is also true, so much so I wrote it into Spike and Angel antics one year)

Mom - come on, it's fun. you can do whatever you want with the decorations

Me - you always say that but then you always yell i'm not doing it right

Mom - because you aren't. If you did it right in the first place, I wouldn't have to make you move the decoration.

Me - ....

so yeah, whee, snow. i don't mind driving in it. It's all highway but it's the other idiots i have to deal with (especially when I get to WV, those hills either make people super stupid coming down them or super terrified and they're going 25 mph in a 70 zone)

I adore your recreations of you/mom convos. I can't imagine I could render my insane ramblings with my mom so well. She never listens and no matter what I tell her (if I call to tell her something specific) she has to compare it to something in her own life and tell me the long story loudly and fully. In other ways she is the female Woody Allen, so you can imagine the rest.

If I didn't know better I'd say we have the same mom.

I live in West Virginia so I get where your coming from regarding the roads. I have to drive on them frequently.
