Mother Dearest

I have a relationship with my mother that is usually enviable by many of my friends. Once us kids got old enough to appreciate differences, my friends started to see just how cool my mom was. I still remember a bunch of my high school friends ranting about mothers and they concluded that everyone hated their mothers. I found it hard to relate to this sentiment and pointed out that I did not hate my mom. The response was "Well, that's because your mom is cool."

( Well, thanks a lot, mom! )
