My Nest Isn't Empty, It Just Has More Closet Space: the Amazing Adventures of An Ordinary Woman
“Did she tell you that one?
But she has some idiosyncrasies of which even she isn’t aware. I think it’s safe to say that I know her better than she knows herself, and none of them gets past me.
For one, my mom doesn’t know how old I am.
I know it sounds impossible. I am her only daughter, and she loves me more than anything. She thinks she knows how old I am; if you ask her, she will deliver her answer with absolute certainty.
She’ll just get it wrong.
I have no idea why this is. She is not some... dumb blonde. In fact, she is a super-smart blonde. But just yesterday she sent me something she had just written about what she keeps on her refrigerator door. In it, she poked fun at how she can’t bring herself to take down any of my old report cards, and she had the line, “As you may recall, she’s 26 years old.”
Fact: I am 24 years old.
She must have confused me with her other only child.
Mom’s response? “When you’re fifty-four years old, twenty-four and twenty-six aren’t all that different.”MoreLess
