With The Times?

People are always amused by my mother.

She has a sort of je ne sais quoi about her which makes most everyone want to talk to her.

(with the exception of Steph who is scared of her. just cz her mother is like little red riding hood's grandmother. You should call your kid Little Red Riding Hood. .... Marry a guy called Mr Hood. (not the gangster type. they 'don't look very nice' as Mrs Mave would say.) And you can call your child Little Hood. Middle names Red Riding. Powerful sht right there.)

Apparently my personality is much like hers yet not...

Whenever I hear descriptions of myself I am reminded of my mother but she is always saying that I am nothing like her... 'Why do you have to be like that. Why can't you be smart like me. You stupid like your daddy. You blind like your daddy. You have bad skin like your daddy. But you're not tall and skinny like your daddy. What is wrong with you? Why don't you pick good things from your daddy? If I were you I would be tall and skinny like your daddy but have good eyes and good skin like me.'

She is hypocritical like me =]]

Mais what was I saying...

Right.

Anecdote.

Amusing Anecdote.

My mum is quite 'with the times'... She doesn't really dress her age... though I'm never quite sure what her age is. She has been 86 for nearly 10 years...

She sings along with The Edge occasionally...

And she is totally modern.

Par exemple?

She was telling me about going to the curtain shop a couple days ago...

Why are gay people so clean?

...fellatio makes your skin glow like a metaphorically pregnant lady?

I went to the curtain shop... and the boy that was helping me was gay.

"How do you know he was gay?"

Because he was so clean! And the way he taaalk, the way he wear his clothes... oooh so pretty. He was wearing this purple shirt and a modernnn tie. He was SO CLEAN.

"...How do you know he was clean?"

Oh you know, you can just tell... He is clean. And he is gay. I like him. He so helpful you know. Not like normal boys who always chasing after girls *insert chicken dance snatchy hands* But this boy was so interested in the curtains. He wanted to help aaall the old ladies to choose the curtains, and the pretty curtains... you know? I think I'll go back there. You should come and take a look.

"I don't mind really what curtains are in the washing room as long as they're not THAT ugly."

No not the curtains. The gay boy. Why you want to look at curtains? You need to study!

...

My mum went back. Because she liked the gay guy. Cz he was clean and nice...

She has always said to us that it's okay if we're gay. As long as we're happy.

And rich.

So I should be doing eco homework right now.... I've done half.... but it's long and time-consuming and pointless...

Mr Rackham has been trying all these 'new' approaches to teaching.

The other day he wanted us to write a 'newspaper article' regarding the cotton subsidies (eco thing) and the instructions he gave us incorporated de bono's thinking hats.

Step 1 was to think up an emotive and engaging title.

My title (and i actually sent it in like this) was:

Insert Witty Pun Here

A+?

I think so.

Tata,
