Maternal Affection
Last night at dinner, my mother and I were talking about politics a little. I said that I was afraid that if McCain go elected I would end up being drafted and sent over to Iraq for 100 years. Her response, instead of the "I won't let that happen! They won't take my baby!" I was expecting/looking for, was "Better get to the gym, then!" Not what I wanted to hear! When I expressed my (half-amused, admittedly) indignance at this statement, she then made noises about moving to Canada or going back to school full-time, and her opinion that McCain would never have the votes even if he did win, but, no, the damage was done. I now know that my mother thinks I'm a fat-ass who needs to bulk up before going to Iraq. Thanks, Mom!
LOL your far more likely to go to war with Obama than McCain, democrats support the draft, republicans do not. Plus as a international novice, Obama is far more likely to escalate a situation past diplomacy. Like Bush's first run in with the chinese and the spy plane they confiscated when it had to make an emergency landing.
ReplyDeleteI think your Mom was actually indicating you should perhaps think of getting a place of your own : \ or leave them more time for sex !
