and in the interest of equal parental time...
Today is my mom's birthday.
She prefers books with high body counts. She likes pseudo-swear words, like "shoot." She screams on roller coasters. When she drinks (which is only when she comes out here to see me) she goes on and on about how my brother and I were always smarter than the other kids. She was voted Band Queen in high school. She got married in a short white dress. When we watch medical-themed movies or TV shows, she diagnoses the patients faster than the doctors do. She has the world's best handwriting. She knows the score. I love her.
