Adventures with Mom

In July, I spent about ten days days visiting my mom in Ann Arbor during which I helped her out with various projects, one being remodelling her condo.  I love my mother very much and feel very fortunate that I got to spend that amount of time with her, but as you all know, spending a lot of time with someone can be trying after awhile.  Most of my Facebook friends have seen the majority of this but I wanted to share my experiences here as well.

Was in the car with my mom earlier (she's a terrible driver, by the way, but that's off subject) and we had a little rapid fire Q & A session...here's how it went:

 Mom: You hungry?

 Me: I'm good.

 Mom: Well, you haven't eaten...you've got to be hungry.

 Me: I'm good for right now.

 Mom: Do you like chicken salad?

 Me: As long as it doesn't have fruit in it.

 Mom: I thought you liked fruit.

 Me:   I do. I just don't like the whole sweet and salty combination.

 Mom: You mean sweet and savory?

 Me: Whatever.

 Mom: Do you like Liquorice?

 Me: You know I don't eat a lot of sweet things.

 Mom: Well do you like it?

 Me: If I absolutely had to eat a piece I'd get the red...the black is absolutely disgusting.

 Mom: Do you like Tarragon?

 Me: I don't even know what that is.

 Mom: It tastes like Liquorice.

 Me: Red or Black?

 Mom: Black.

 Me: Sounds pretty gross.

 Mom: Well, I guess I won't be making a Tarragon Chicken Salad then.

Let mom drive again today...she jumped the curb in the Kroger parking lot with the right rear tire while I was sending a text. Scared the absolute living shit out of me.
