The Highlights

I tried to amass a list of great mom interactions I had while in Croatia and staying with her in upstate New York for a few days. Somehow, they have all escaped me.

Save for one -- during dinner I chuckled when a certain song by Ace of Base came on. My mother inquired about the song and I began to explain it to her, and realized about half-way through that my comprehension was significantly checked by my age when the song came out, and I had yet to update it. This conversation culminated in my mother yelling, "WHY WOULD SHE WANT TO GIVE BIRTH TO ANOTHER BABY??"

Sharing is Caring

I drove down to San Diego to visit our mother (not Lairin's mother) as she was there on business. We were sharing a hotel room, and I woke up in the morning after a really weird dream. I decided to tell my mom about it.

Dodo: "I had such a weird dream..."
Momma: "What happened?"
Dodo: "I got pregnant"
Momma: "WHAT??!?!.........Did you have an abortion?"
Dodo: "No I think I was going to give it to Brother and his wife."
Momma: "Oh Dodo don't do that to yourself!"
Dodo: "Mom it wasn't really a concrete dream. I didn't even know who the father was."
Momma: "WHAT???!?!"
