love you too mom...

(ring ring)

Hi Mom. No, not much, same ol' same. No, still haven't found a job yet. Yes, still making coffee for a living at the moment. No, I didn't get the job I interviewed for last week. It's ok mom. No, I don't need money. ... No, I don't think I need to move home. Really mom, I appreciate the offer, and if I ever go broke I promise I'll take you up on that offer. I didn't mean it like that ma, going broke isn't the only reason I'd come home. I'm coming home for the holidays aren't I? What do you mean the holidays don't count because I have to come home for those? Well I don't know what to tell you ma. Sure I'm thinking about going to grad school if I can't find a job soon. Sure mom, I'll consider applying to schools close to your home too. No, I'm not just saying that to be nice. I know they have some great grad schools there, and I'll request some information from them. You already had them mail some out to me? Yeah, thanks mom. No, I don't need you to fill out an application for me. I don't think they're looking for letters of recommendation from mothers either. No, I'm sure you would be a great reference, but I don't think it works that way, because --can we just talk about something else?

My facebook? Why did I block you from looking at my wall posts and photo albums? Because you told grandma and she started asking me for a friend request. I didn't even know she knew what the internet was. Oh, it was just you setting up a profile for her so we could all be connected? Why? She will never use it. No, I'm pretty sure no one else has their entire family as friends on facebook. What? You found out my sister's password and looked at my profile from there? No mom, I don't think I'm drinking too much. It was a picture from a vacation. Yes, she was a pretty girl, but no I am not dating her. Or anyone else. How is Christina? I have no idea mom. ... Mom. .... MOM. She got married. Yes mom, like two years ago. No, I haven't talked to her. Yeah, you can keep the picture of us up. I swear mom, the moment I meet a nice girl I'll call you first thing. I'll get married someday mom, and have nice grandkids for you and everything, but I'm 26, I don't need to do it today. I know Sonja and her husband are expecting their second kid. That's great mom. Seriously mom, I'll figure it all out soon, I promise. Are you crying mom? Dammit...sorry for cursing mom. No, I know. I love you to. Yes mom. I'll talk to you... Well I gotta...Can you put dad on the phone for a sec?

Hey dad. Yeah, that was an awesome game! I thought the defense was a little weak, put we ended up putting a drive together to get it done. Yeah, he's kind of overrated. Yeah, good talking to you too. Oh, and tell mom I'm deleting her from facebook. It's this online, -look nevermind. Bye dad.

  1. I'm so glad that other people have these types of conversations with their mom's. It's very validating.
