Birthday Lunch

Blogged under birthday, mom on Saturday 1 November 2008 at 9:49 pm

I had lunch with my mom today to celebrate my birthday tomorrow.  Because I came out of her she gets dibs on all birthday celebrations.  I can live with that.

This is how I expected the conversation to go:

“Honey you’re the most amazing, perfect, beautiful daughter in the entire world.  I’m so incredibly lucky to have you.  It’s the reason I believe in God.  I asked for the most lovely daughter in heaven and ended up with you.  That said, what do you want for your birthday?”

“I want you to vote for Obama on Tuesday.”

“I will happily vote for Obama.  It’s the least I could do for your birthday my dear.”

This is how it really went:

“Happy birthday tomorrow!  If we lived closer I’d do your laundry.”

It’s not vote for a better presidency, but clean clothes certainly have a place in history too.

Share Sarah! Pretty Please? RLO will love you.

    The earth groans deeply with birthday pleasures in your name, dearest of Sarahs. May you live through thousands of presidencies in dirty laundry, the mold on your britches masked only by the fragrant perfume of a Utopian society :-D

    Many loves, as always, do I scatter in your direction.

    I’m curious what your reasons are for voting for Obama. (This is a serious question)

    Take the clean clothes and let’s all let go of this foolish notion that there is any real difference between politicians. They are all lying, scumbag weasels.

    Your nonanswer to my question is similar to the blank stares I receive from most people I ask that question to.

    Heaven help us.

    Chauncey, that’s a pretty personal question to try and answer in a public forum. I apologize if you think your question was ignored. Email me and I’d be happy to reply with my reasons.
