Dori @LJ, yeeey!:)
Back from the concert, it was nice... only I didn't like some of the pieces... and we gave a lift to Mom friends on our way back and whoa... I'm sick of them like it's nobody's business (and they jiggle like it's nobody's business, right, Dori??? )They're a couple and I really don't like the wife, dunno why, it's just this pfff... unexplainable dislike. But that's perfectly ok, that's my own problem, I only have to say hello then try not paying attention to what she's saying. It's ok too that the guy started to depreciate what we have heard, listing - as the reasons for his dislike - basically the main things because of which I liked particular pieces A LOT, and mentioning as his favorites those pieces which I could hardly tolerate...
But it's his opinion and I respect it.
HOWEVER. After this, for some reason, we started talking about nursing bottles. My mom said she did not have one. Oh, poor you, said the guy mockingly. My mom answered to this, totally innocent - well, I was a preterm baby, and I was fed with a coffee spoon. One would think the guy went silent after this, but oh no. He _jokingly_ say as if this were the FCKING joke of the year "Oh I bet you did not have an incubator either...". Since my mom was born in the early fifties in communist Hungary, actually that was the fact - she did not have an incubator! So she replied matter-of factly (but still w/o realizing, or wanting to realize what the fuckface was duing) No, I did not have one, I was in a tiny bed and my mother came in to feed me three times a day. Now, what does the jerk reply? But I'm sure she did not feed you right...
And that just blew my mind. I turned around - they were seated on the back seat- and asked him "And what makes you think so? " I did not do much to erase the obvious look of disgust from my face so he was a bit surprised. He did not say a word. So I went on. "I'm asking this only because I thought you knew absolutely nothing about my grandma OR having a preterm baby". And there came the uncomfortable silence. Then the wife started to chat about something, and I went silent for the rest of the trip. When it was only the two of us again, I asked my mom why she tolerated the guy saying such things. And she said there was nothing against her in what the guy said...
This is were I gave up. Sometimes I'm so fed up with Mom being COMPLETELY and TOTALLY unable to admit her own faults. But it's so much worse when she doesn't notice things like this. Obviously, it is related to the fact that she is unwilling to admit that someone who she likes might taunts her or mocks her, because that would be a failure. But still, I could kill those who are behaving this way.
OK, end of rant. Maybe it's only PMS. Maybe it's Maybelline.
Today's smiley episode also tore me up. Pfff.
