Me: Hello?
Coworker: I've got your Mom on the phone.
Me: God help me...*sigh* OK. Transfer her to me.
Mom: Hello?
Me: Hi Mom
Mom: Hi! I'm flying into Portland tomorrow at 11:55pm. Can you pick me up?
Me: Tomorrow?? At MIDNIGHT?
Mom: Yes. I got a really good deal on a flight.
Me: MIDNIGHT??
Mom: Yes. I can ask Jodi to pick me up.
Me: Mom. She's half blind, crippled from a recent knee replacement.
Mom: Well yes...but her son can...
Me: No. He's traveling.
Mom: Well her daughter-in-law then...
Me: She's from Thialand and doesn't even have her green card yet.
Mom: Oh. Well...
Me: *sigh* Don't worry about it, I'll pick you up.
Mom: Oh I just knew you would. (inject perky Mom ooze sound here)
Me: How long are you staying?
Mom: Oh well, we'll see.
(god help me. That means longer than a week)
Me: Just tell me. How long are you planning to stay?
Mom: Well you see...I'm moving out of this place by May so I have to be back then to pick the colors of my new place...
Me: May? So you're staying a month?
Mom: Well we'll see...
Must. Remember. To. Breathe.

Oh the humanity ...
Loofa: Her friend will take her for part of that month. *sigh* I forsee a long month ahead.
Loach: *slumps*
I am sure parents do this purposely. I am sure they find some sort of sadistic pleasure knowing their children become restless.
only if we could adopt parents the way we adopt cats.
Mei Lian: I think so too! Although, I tell myself I will not do this to my son. Or if I do, he will actually look forward to my spending time with him. :)
See...that's how it starts...
Aafrica: Do you think the Humane Society will take her?? :D
"Do you think the Humane Society will take her??"
Maybe...since she doesn't really qualify as human.

Hmmm...*searches for number*
