When I was in the 7th grade, one of my smart friends gave me a Christmas gift. It was a blue sparkly key chain with the phrase "I'm not opinionated, I'm just always right" imprinted on it.
She told the story of how she was in the store and this key chain had my name all over it. She was much smarter than I....I didn't understand what it was saying until high school. Now that I understand, I proudly give the title to my madre.
She calls last night and starts the interrogation:

She calls last night and starts the interrogation:
Are you eating your vegetables?
On Pizza!
Are you taking your vitamins?
Yes, everyday
Are you drinking orange juice?
No, it gives me heartburn
Ugh, RELL!
MOM!
Are you signed up for any classes?
No.
RELL
I go on to explain that they are just not feasible. They are around $100 and they run for 6 weeks, Tuesday and Thursday from 6-8.
There is no way we could make that fit in right now and plus, I don't need any classes
What do you mean you don't need classes? You are going to get mad if something happens and no one told you about it.
Like pooping the table?
You won't poop the table!
Yes I will. Everyone does....they just don't tell you
I didn't poop the table
Yes you did. Everyone does
No rell, I didn't
Whatever
I really didn't
Mom, I have friends and I read books
So there you have it. A conversation between two women that are always right. When any other mom would give a suggestion.....my mom gives a suggestion backed up by a "you better do it... or else!"
So...... because I wish to skip the classes, I am requesting peer advise. If anyone can give me any advise at all, I would love it. Anything! Leave a comment or e-mail me. tberner@amfam.com.
Thanks!
