Yesterday, When I Was Born…
and fell off the turnip truck, I believed her.
Today I am wiser.
The 21 year old wasn’t in her bed at 5:30AM. I didn’t panic, I turned on my cell phone and sure enough there was a text message saying she fell asleep at a guy’s house watching a movie and would be home in the morning.
Um.
The first thing I think:
Who cares, I’m not your mother.
Second thing I think:
Oh, crap I am!
What does one say when one is confronted with an adult situation requiring adult-like grace?
I don’t know, I’ve never been the mother of a 21 year old. What would I want my mother to say if I left a message saying I fell asleep at a guy’s house.
“Make sure he makes you breakfast”
Her reply to me?
“Who is this and what have you done with my mother??!”
Mwahahaha.
