12 Things I Will Never Stop Asking My Mom
Courtney Knudsen

Growing up, I was constantly arguing with my mom. In the younger years, it was mostly about her making me brush my teeth. Then as I got older it was cellphone usage, going to school and coming home late. As I got into my 20's, I realized that I am definitely not as grown up as I though I was going to be back then, and instead of her calling me to check up on me, I'm the one calling her, usually with plenty of questions in my arsenal. Here are a few things I will never stop asking my mom:

1. How long after expiration can I eat _____?

We all know food doesn't really expire on the expiration date. I need to know how long I can hang on to my milk before I will actually die from consuming it.

2. Will you call _____ for me?

I hate making appointments. I hate canceling appointments. I need a personal secretary to do these things.

3. Who is our insurance company?

And where's the card? Which number is the policy number?

4. How long will my car last before I have to get the oil changed?

Every 3,000 miles is just a suggestion...right?

5. What should I eat for dinner?

I have rice, half a tomato and some yogurt. What can I make?

6. What's my blood type?

I know I have asked this at least 10 times and I still don't know what it is.

7. Can you help me pay for _____ ?

New running shoes? Parts for my car? Groceries?

8. Is it normal if _____ ?

Followed by a gory description of something gross my body is doing.

9. What's the Netflix password?

Why can't I remember it?!

10. What's your billing zip code?

No reason...just taking a survey.

11. How often do I need shots?

Because according to WebMD I think I have polio.

12. When are you coming to visit me?

Because I miss you. Like, all the time.

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.

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.
