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.
