The title pretty much explains itself. |

| Mom: | Check out Phillip Phillips on American Idol. He's cute and I think you'll like his style. |
| Me: | ........his name is Phillip Phillips.....? |
| Mom: | Yes. |
| Me: | Stupid name. |
| Mom: | No, CUTE! |
| Me: | I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. |
| Mom: | Ok. |
| Me: | Mom, why the HELL are all your bookmarks gmail?! |
| Mom: | I want to save those emails! |
| Mom (on phone with old friend): | My ex-husband? Oh yeah, he's been traveling a lot now. He's a really good photographer actually. Traveling all over the world, taking photos. ...hm? Oh yeah, she graduated from Harvard. She's got a boyfriend. Doing real well. No... Oh God, please don't ask me what my daughter's studying. Don't ask...oh shoot. I think I heard her laughing in the kitchen. Oh shoot, I think she heard me. |
| Mom: | Why do you have to have the maintenance guy come? |
| Me: | You don't wanna know. |
| Mom: | TELL ME. |
| Me: | YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW. |
| Mom: | WHY ARE YOU TALKING LIKE THAT. TELL ME NOW. |
| Me: | FINE. ......we have a mouse. |
| Mom: | I don't wanna know. |

| Me: | He's cute though. |
| Mom: | Hide your food, shut your doors. |
| After a silence during Thanksgiving dinner... | |
| Mom: | So I gave a man CPR the other day and he died. |
| Everybody else: | ......... |
| My cousin Jeremy: | Happy Thanksgiving. |
| Mom: | Okay, I'm leaving now. Bye. |
| Me: | Okay. |
| Mom: | Try to have fun. Whatever. |
| Mom: | If two or more people tell you something, you should probably listen to them because for the most part, people aren't retarded. |
| (trying to scare her) | |
| Me: | Don't you loooooooove my pink highlights? |
| Mom: | They aren't real though, are they? |
| Me: | MAYBE THEY ARE. WHAT IF THEY WERE?! HM?! |
| Mom: | I don't care. I just care about your acne. |
| Plan backfired. |
| Me: | I'm probably just going to fly there. |
| Mom: | You're going to fly?! |
| Me: | Yeah. Like...take a flight? ..............in an airplane? |
| Mom: | Ohhhhhh. Okay, that's okay then. |
Mom: I built your dresser! ALL BY MYSELF. Also, the TV box is to cover the window because the dresser is blocking the blinds.
