I forgot to mention yesterday that my mother said possibly the most awkward thing I have ever heard her say, in my twenty-plus years in her company. We were in the Apple store, and the girl in line in front of us had a lot of bags and a cane (she was a young woman, maybe 23-25) and it fell on the ground, and when she started to arrange her bags I just grabbed it for her and handed it to her and she was like, "You really didn't have to do that!" So this is where my mom jumps in, and says:
"Oh, it's just gratefulness that we don't have to use one!!"
And my jaw dropped, and the girl looked uneasy and uncomfortable and pissed and my mom just like turned away whistling merrily, completely unaware she had ruined the girl's day. I may, in fact, have looked exactly like my icon.
And that, folks, sums up why my mother is so embarassing. *facepalm* *sigh*
