Should it scare me that Mom totally called the scholarship? Usually her 'predictions' get saved for when she's flouncing around be-turbaned, lighting her candles and incense and communing with whatever spirit wants to save her current caller's love life over three am cigarettes and hot toddies, in other words, about the time the infomercials start kicking in.
