I feel like I'm on a different wavelength than the rest of my family lately... My brother will ask Mom a question and she'll say something that I think isn't at all an answer, but he'll nod and say, "Oh, okay." And tonight we were talking about take your kids to work day, and she said she thought there were probably a lot of kids missing from school, because there weren't many cars at the intersection near our house/the middle school aruond the time when they get out, and were there many kids not at school? I said there weren't many missing from NT, because we get out an hour earlier, but I didn't know about the middle school. Then she gave me this sort of stupefied look and said there weren't that many cars at the middle school intersection -- but she said it like I hadnt got it the first time.
It's making me sad because I can say stuff to me friends like, "That's it! The Pop Rocks religion hates the Ramen religion!" and they totally get it, but I can't even talk about Take Your Kids to Work day with my mom...
