We still love you, mom.

11 Things An Investigative Mother Says

Being home from school, I am reminded of things I miss from my childhood: opening presents on Christmas morning, sleeping in until 11 a.m., and staying in jammies all day. On the flip side, I am also reminded of things I don't miss from my childhood. But there is one thing in particular that I can't help but think, I don't miss this at all.

I am reminded of how investigative my mother is.

She's wonderful, don't get me wrong. She can make anyone smile and she has a fabulous attitude towards life. But my brother and I can both agree that she has one side of her that wants to know absolutely everything about your life.

I think everyone can relate on this one. On one hand, I know I am going to be that investigative mom towards my children as well. We all say we will never end up like that, but it all ends up working out the opposite.

Most of us have investigative mothers (because it is mostly in their nature), so I came up with 11 things an investigative mother always says:

1. "What are you doing?"

Ugh. This question gets me every time.

2. "Who are you texting?"

NO ONE MOM.

3. "Is everything okay?"

Yes. Just because I am not smiling right now, doesn't mean that the world is falling apart before my eyes. I thank you for being so concerned, however.

4. "Can you set up Find My iPhone?"

Mom, I know you don't want to use Find My iPhone "just in case I lose my phone." You don't fool me.

5. *Uses your first, middle, and last name to call you down to ask you what you would like for dinner*

I mean c'mon, this is so misleading.

6. "Who is that?"

Just a friend, mom. Just a friend.

7. "Did you have a good time?"

Yes, everything was great. Even though you have already asked me three times prior to this time.

8. "When did you get home last night?"


Does it even really matter anymore?

9. "Why is the back door unlocked?"

My brother used to get this one way too much.

10. "Why are there mud and footprints on the wall right beneath the window in the basement?"

My brother is used to this one as well.

11. "Have you set up Find My iPhone yet?"

Nope. And I certainly will not, ever.

All in all, mothers are great. They raise us; they put food on the table; they support us. Let's not blame them for their nosiness. Because in fact, it's a little bit of why they are the way they are, and why we love them. We should be thankful to have mothers who care, even though it can be a little much sometimes.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
