------------------------------------------------------------------------

Senryus about those capricious creatures that rule over our lives - our moms. Studying. My phone beeps, I look at it - mom says, - "you've been texting!" Argh! Mom: "Why is it - that everything is on the floor?" Me: *thinking*... "gravity?" "SORRY!, how could I know answering your question would be talking back??" My mom can hear me mumble a mile away but can't hear me yell "what"?

I can't help but laugh, Anais, it's funny the way people are whether it be your mom or my wife. When my wife gets mad at me, she goes in the other room and talks to herself...about me...but she says it just loud enough that she knows I can hear. I think that's called "passive-aggressive."

It's astute of you to realize that she really is talking to YOU, John. lol

Mothers have ears that can hear as efficiently as an old bat, but don't call her that. I did smile at your 'gravity,' reply.
