Scene From My Life: Mother

Background information: Due to my horrible sinus infection, I haven't been able to smell anything for more than a week. Since sense of taste is largely sense of smell, I can't really taste food at the moment.

INT. DINING ROOM - LUNCHTIME

Amy has just returned home from class and is looking for something to eat.

MOM
Why don't you eat the pumpkin soup I brought home from Aunt Marge's?

AMY
You know, I still can't smell or taste anything...it would be wasted on me. Why don't you eat it?

MOM
Oh...but I already told Marge that you enjoyed it.

AMY
??? Why did you tell her I'd enjoyed it when I haven't had a chance to eat it yet?

MOM
Well, everyone was talking about it on Facebook and saying how good it was, and I had to say something...

AMY
... ????


WHAT HAS FACEBOOK DONE TO MY MOTHER?

Madame Amy Predicts Your Future, and Other Strange Tales

I MAY be psychic guys. I was out doing some holiday shopping, and I was looking around the toys and the children's clothing in a department store, thinking about what I was going to get my "nephew" (friend's son) for Christmas. I was looking at the infants' clothing, and thinking: I bet Lauren and Matt are going to have another baby soon. Since I haven't talked to her in awhile, I decided to give her a call right then.

Yep, she's pregnant! I can't wait to see in what other areas my powers will manifest. I just might be pondering my X-Men superhero name in anticipation.

Also, why am I not an old lady yet? While I was talking to Lauren, I came across these long flannel nightgowns with red cardinals on them, and I WANTED ONE SO BADLY! You know the type: covers you from neck to ankles, wide yoke, lace around the sleeves? It just looked so comfy.

Because, as the tag implies, "I like making lists": here is ( a list of things I'm looking forward to when I'm an old lady. )
