A Scene from my Life
So my mom has my IM screen name now, and talks to me fairly frequently on it. It's fine, mostly, although it does mean that I have to censor links and away messages sometimes, which sucks. But so it goes. However, it does lead to HILARIOUS exchanges like what happened yesterday.
MOM: I just love your away messages! I get these tantalizing little glimpses of what you're doing! Like yesterday, you had up that "Peter Hillary is a badass." [I'm working on a documentary about Mt. Everest.] I told your father about it and he said, "That's a horrible thing to say!" but I told him, "No, honey, I'm pretty sure that's a good thing, badass is a good thing to be."
Wow. Priceless. Can I reiterate how much I love my parents?
