Mom
I just had the scariest relevation: I'm starting to turn into my mother. Yes, I know, so cliché but true. We say, "I'll never be like my parents." And before we know it, we have.
I started packing for spring break, and by packing I mean that I've taken the old baggage claim sticker off my suitcase. Actually, no, I stand corrected. I've packed my USB cord for my digital camera but nothing else. Really, I swear. But back to my point...while packing I thought to myself, "I should clean my room so when I return I'll have a nice place." FREEZE. jaw hangs open. My mind immediately plays a family vacation montage in which the main character (Rosemary Yorks) yells at each supporting character (Keith, Steph, Allie, and Britt) to vaccuum, dust, and mop the little house at 234 S. 15th St. virtually spotless.
As I finally come to, I realize that this is not the first mom-ism. I've also previously caught myself thinking things like, "How can you walk by and not notice this?" and "As long as you beat mary weaver" and "Don't leave anything in the sink."
March 24, 2006: a day that will live in infamy.
