Today was the first time I had an actual free day in ages. I went with Dee to the city and we shopped for a mothers day gift for my mom and walked around together.
"Wow Dee", I said to her as we browsed through the clothing at Scoop, "it feels so good to just be human, ya know? Im not worried about some tedious assignment, we are just shopping and enjoying a beautiful day" She looked at me and said "I know, im so glad youre normal again. Its nice to have you back- without you being a weirdo- now what should we get Mommy?"
Here I was getting all emo with her and sharing my deepest thoughts, and she was like get over it- quit being a freak and lets make some progress!! Again, gotta love her.
We got mom her gift.
We ate lunch.
Dee was almost reduced to tears when the waiter didnt bring the bread quick enough- her baby was doing wheelies in her stomach- and I almost punched the waiter for making her suffer for 15 grueling minutes.
I bought a cool black shirt that Dee coined a lesbian one. Im convinced its her way of telling me that she wants it.
FYI- For anyone whos looking for the perfect mothers day card for their black mother, rest assured- there are plenty of them out there. Thats right folks. Black moms on the cards. What next, an asian mom too? Then a hassidic mom for the jewish children? What is our world coming to? Why do our greeting cards need to feature race? Isnt a mom just a mom is a mom? Black, white yellow or blue? Yawn. Save the racial hate mail. I bought one for my mom- whether I will give it to her is another story. Guess I will see what her mood is like on Sunday. If not I can always give it to my grandma.
My moms favorite word of the week is eccentric but- its so cute because she says ess-entric. I refuse to give her crap about it because its so funny. My mission this week is to get her to say it at least twice a day.
Im tired. Gnite.
