Mom called me tonight to ask what I wanted for the holiday. "What do you really want, dear, I want to make this holiday right.""What holiday, Mom?" .."Well, you arent black, so it cant be that new black Christmas that I am getting at, right?
"Ok, you mean Yule, huh, Mom?"
Yup thats it, yole!".."Mom, its yule, not yole,K?"
"Oh, dear, you are so picky, aren't you?" "Mom, would you like to be called Rita instead of your real name?" "What does Rita have to do with this? Who's Rita anyway?" "Nevermind, Mom, it was only an example, there is no Rita." "Then what did you bring it/her up for if there isn't one?" "Oh, Mom, now you 're just tryin to confuse yourself." "Huh?" "Mom, what did you want to ask me?" "Uh, oh, what do you want for the holiday?" "Oh, ok, I understand now. I want Pink Floyd .. anything Pink Floyd. Thanks for asking this year!" "Who is that? What does he write, hun?" "Mom, you know that I like music at the holiday, this is the perfect gift, I will use it tons and tons. Take Jamie with you to buy it, he knows what I like." "Jamie? You haven't seen him in over 5 years, how could he know?" "Mom, trust me on this ok? Jamie knows. Just have him take you to Hadley's Music and tell him Pink Floyd, he will know what to get."
(mom's getting confused now) "Hun, how can Jamie know?" "Just because he does, we listen to lots of the same music. He will know." "Ok, if it comes and you don't like it, then don't try to send it back to me, you hear?" "Yup, Mom, I hear you. Love you, g'night."
How do you explain Floyd to your mom? Does she really think that all I listen to are the Gregorian Monks? geeees parents! hehehe
