Things That Mother Said To Me During Tonight’s Blood-Pressure-Raising Phone Conversation, The List:

Throwback to August 11, 2014

1. “A new job? Can you handle the challenge?”

2. “Seven hours a day? You are going to get behind in your cooking and cleaning.”

3. “Do you think your son is old enough to fend for himself while you are working? He’s still in high school!”

4. “Did I tell you that your niece wants to study physical therapy? That’s an awful choice. All the therapists here at the nursing home are so unhappy.”

5. “Oh, shopping for a car for College Girl? How much are you going to spend?”

6. “Obama is ordering air strikes on Iraq, I heard. Why is the US Air Force striking? Aren’t we paying them enough? Are they striking only in Iraq or are they striking here at home, too?”

7. “Just remember you can always quit your job if your household falls apart.”
