Unimportant Dilemma

[kybearfuzz]

I just got a phone call from Mom. I ordered her a quilt pattern that you can use to make a quilt from your old tee-shirts. She wants to make one for me (YAY!!!). I need twenty tees to make the quilt. I have many old tees, but she's telling me that I should use some of the recent tees I've picked up on my trips. She says this way they'll keep better.

She makes a good point, but I hate to sacrifice such new shirts. Still, I'll have them, just not as shirts anymore. The logos will grace my bed instead. Should I sacrifice them knowing that they'll wear out eventually??? Not an important decision, just wanting some feedback from the peanut gallery.

Do you think your mom will be offended by the shirts that say "I got laid at Bear Camp 2002." and "It's 8am. Feed me your sausage."? ;-)

LOL.. like I would ever give her those tees to put on a quilt! I can't imagine the number of heart attacks this would cause to a 65 year old woman.

Besides.. Mom and I have an unwritten deal.. she hears nothing about my sex life.. she tells me nothing about hers (and yes, she still has one at 65!).

Gawd, I wish I had a deal like that with my mother. Even though I keep silent about my sex life, she tells me about hers (with my father)... and asks me about mine. I realize I should appreciate such a "cool" mom, but it's only cool when it's someone else's mom. I really don't want to hear about how/when my mom and dad are shagging.

Have you ever seen the movie Jeffery? There is a scene in the movie where his parents ask him, a gay man, whether he likes shaved assholes and then they proceed to have phone sex talk with him to get him in the mood to date again. It's both the funniest and disturbing thing I've ever seen in this context.

If I ever had this kind of conversation with my mom, my brain would shut down to protect itself. I'd be thrilled if she were interested, but far too creeped out to respond. You have my sympathy there ;)
