My mom never ceases to surprise me. Not so much in what she does, but rather how she reacts to things I say/do. Somehow I always expect a much more concerned/surprised reaction, but instead what I get is a very matter-of-fact and accepting response. It’s a bit, I dunno, strange? In a good way, I guess. You’d think I should know my parents fairly well having lived with them for 20 years (more or less), but apparently not as much as I thought….

Now, I wonder what my mom would think/say if I asked her about….
