Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh
What is that? My mom does that too, and there is no satisfactory response but heartfelt agreement.
Humour, no.
"well I guess I see it differently" gets"Well when you're my age you'll realize how silly you're being.."
Yes, and that's with facts.. it makes me want to get out the charts and the graphs..
Which I did at one time, then I had to deal with her months later, quoting me back to me as if she was bestowing her knowledge upon me.
Simple acknowledgment?
"I can tell you're not really listening to me"And the same topics keep being brought up.
Sometimes I would just walk in the door and she'll start in on something.
Very few people have the talent to leave me parched and frustrated in less than ten minutes..I haven't seen my mom in three years, we only just started emailing recently, and that's okay because part of the problem was the facial expressions she made. Lots of smirking and eye rolling..
I have wondered even if the dalai lama's mother
ever told him she thought the invasion of Tibet
was a good thing.
