Mum, I love you, but please don't grab me by the ear to look at my earrings as I'm trying to drive around a roundabout. Not if you want to be eighty-six, anyhow.
oh lord, this makes me recall hair-raising driving with my mum, only SHE was driving! My mother believed that stop-signs, one-way streets, etc, were for other people....
Whenz your Mum's birthday? My Mom just had her 86th!
Oh yeah, very glad you lived through the earring inspection. Sometimes I wonder if thinking is involved at all in 80-something's actions, a bit like a two year old's.... (Since she moved in with me I've had to remove the knobs from the stove as all but ONE of my pans has a burned bottom. She couldn't remember not to use it while no one else was around, and I wasn't thrilled with the prospect of the house catching fire because she left a burner on then took a nap...)
