My mom, ladies and gentlemen

[iesika]

This is probably not funny to anyone who doesn't know my mom, but it's pretty damned funny to me. Maybe even up there with watching her watch Brother play GTA .

I just came downstairs to find Mom in the living room watching pro football. The Saints are playing.

Me: Is Jeremy playing? (Jeremy Shockey, to whom I am very distantly related)
Mom:  No, he's having hernia surgery. What a wimp! (perfectly serious)
Me: Mom!
Mom: Surgery like that is never urgent. You can put it off.
Me: If you want to rupture something! 
Mom: ...Okay, maybe.
