Episode One

It’s just my mum and I for the next 10 days. Lord have mercy on us all.

On tonight’s episode, in the car:

Mum: I’m going to stop and get some flyers (meaning = stop so I can pick up a bag of flyers by the post box.)

Me: You mean tomorrow when you walk the dog?!

Mum: TIFFANY!

Slows down near post box.

Me: Ok mum, tuck and roll, TUCK AND ROLL!!

Mum’s not moving.

Me: COME ON, tuck and roll if you want to get the flyers.

Mum still not moving.

Mum: Tiffany!

Me: Fine. Lets mum out but then drives away very slowly.

Me: Come on! If you want back in the car, you’re going to have to walk faster than that. HAAAAAHAHAHAHA

After what seems like a ridiculous amount of time later I finally stop and let mum back in the car.

Me: That never gets old.

A short while later:

I walked to the kitchen to see my mum standing there, with a frying pan in hand and a ‘caught red handed’ look on her face. I asked her what she was doing. Silence. “Are you going after the flies in here with that?”. *Nods head. I laugh all the way back to my room.

It can only get better/crazier from here.

Good Deed of the Day

Speaking with a client at work last week.

Client: …there was a wind surfing competition on the St. Lawrence. This was back before your time.

Me: I have to stop you right there – I am deceptively young looking.

Client: *gives me dubious look. OK, you were born in the 80s! So the competition took place in 1984…

Me: He thinks I look far younger then 26. I’ll let him have this one.
