My Mother

Now, when I told my parents that I was taking a trip to Seattle the end of September, I neglected to mention one thing. The why. Basically I thought it would be nice out there, that I would like it, and that I needed to take a real vacation where I actually went somewhere new and fantastic. Plus I got to stay with my cousins, whom I never see. I forgot to mention the fact that I was also thinking of moving out there. Well, my mom found out from my aunt that missing piece of information and I’ve started to get the shit storm that I expected. It’s not like I wouldn’t have ever mentioned it, but it was more something that needed to be eased into. Let her get used to the idea for a little while. Now I’m getting some gale force empty-nest passive aggression.

Things like, “Jeez, you must want to get as far away from us as possible” and “I’m glad we got all of these summer shirts [for work] now that you are going to move.” OK, first, I’m not going anywhere any time soon. Second, what, they don’t have summer in Seattle?

Tonight at dinner she told a story about how somebody walked into a building in Seattle and shot up a bunch of people. Nice.

  1. aw she doesn’t want you to leave.

    Mothers can be a pain about that. Bob’s an only child, and his mother hates it that we live here, away from her, while we love it. I think that when you are a guy, you need to move away from mom, and by away, I mean further than expected, at least for a while. It cuts the cord. I think you would love Seattle. My LJ friend, Shamus lives there, and he talks about how cool it is there over the summer, and how he loves the area.

    Anyway, when your mom starts giving you grief for leaving, tell her that you don’t want to have sex with her in the house anymore. 🙂 That would be fun.lol
