The one from my ex because my mother did in fact call him to ask for the suit back. Unbelievable. Well, really, it is rather believable that she did it, but for some reason, I’m still amazed that she did. I seem to remain in this paradoxical state of belief/disbelief when it comes to my mother. Anyway, ex related the phone conversation to me and while it was a highly inappropriate phone call for my mother to make (she is unaware of the term “indian giver”), it is not without some humor:
Ex: Hello?
Mom: Hi [ex], how are you?
Ex: Fine…
Mom: Good. How is your life going?
Ex: Fine… (now, you know at this point he is wondering “Why in the hell is she calling me?”)
Mom: [Ex], do you remember that suit I gave you?
Ex: Yes…..
Mom: Does it fit you?
Ex: Well, J, I never actually tried it on….
Mom: Oh, well if it doesn’t fit you and you don’t want it, I’d like to have it back.
Ex: Ok….
Mom: I want to give it to my brother. I don’t want it to grow fungus in your closet.
Ex: Ok, well, I will get with Grace and give her the suit.
Mom: Ok. Bye.
Ex: Bye.
That is the gist of the conversation, anyway. As was relayed to me by my ex while I cried, I was laughing so hard, at the fact that she actually said, “I don’t want [the suit] to grow fungus in your closet.” This is extremely funny considering that my ex has OCD tendencies, especially when it comes to cleanliness.
So I will ask you again….WHYWHYWHYWHY???????????????????? Seriously people, what is wrong with her? Please tell me that this is NOT what I will be like at her age!!!!!!??????!!!!!!
Ok, moving on from fungus covered suits…..I worked almost my entire lunch break yesterday on my sock and I am going to work on it for the rest of this lunch break. It is keeping me sane, thank goodness. Something’s got to….. Oh yeah, and I will post pictures soon and give you all my thoughts about my first attempt at knitting a sock that has only taken, oh 3 months or so….. ![]()
