To quote my sainted mother...
"*insert real name here*, you're crazy..." quoi? I have now heard it all...the woman who sat on her couch during the millenium (sp?) with the lights out and a shotgun on her lap because "its not the computers, the people are crazy" and who is utterly convinced that George W. Bush is a clone of his father and that scientists are controlling the weather and making mistakes...thus Katrina and the Tsunamis...wow.
I'm crazy? Why, you ask? Because I am happy that Arizona passed the increase in the minimum wage! I am such a NUT! Didn't you all know that pure capitalism works? Communism never works, *insert real name here*. Now no one will be able to afford bread. Shame on those of us that voted for the raise in the minimum wage.
"I have seen them raise it over and over and over and you can never live on it because you can't live on minimum wage..."
"Mom, the last time they raised it was 1994."
"No, *real name*, they just raised it to $5.15. It used to be $4.25."
"MOM, that was 1994!!"
"No, *real name* you are crazy. And abortion should be mandatory. If you can't feed 'em, don't breed em. And if you won't have an aboriton and you can't afford your kids they should be taken away and given up for adoption!"
THIS FROM THE WOMAN THAT RAISED FIVE KIDS ON THE SALARY OF A WAITRESS! Wow. Wow. Wow.
*head desk*
After a similarly circular conversation about the smoking ban....
"I just can't talk to you right now, Mom. I have to go!"
"Bye, love you."
Urgh. Urgh. Urgh.
