Conversation with RT's mom

Scene: Mom is in the living room and I am in the kitchen.

Mom: That's weird.

Me: What's weird?

Mom: There's a synchronized skating competition on t.v.

Me: Yeah (and....).

Mom: (angrily) The team is all women except for two men. They should all wear skirts or they should all wear pants.

Me: (Is she really that concerned? Wait. Men in skirts? ) Uh-huh.

Mom: It is really weird that there are two men on the team.

Me: (Do I tell her they can't hear her displeasure, nor do they care?)

Well, maybe those two wear skirts in private. Maybe the two were the only ones wearing skirts. Tell your Ma to stop watching those weird shows.

I mentioned it today and she said she was surprised the announcers of the program did not mention the fact that men were in the group. Ummm...I think my mom needs a bit of a life. HA! :)

Moms are weird RT, plain and simple! HA

Yeah. I've given up telling her that the people in the t.v. can't hear her yell at them.

What's wrong with yelling at the tv?

I'm with Skul. Clearly what was wrong here was that your Mom was watching retarded television.

Rachel:
There's nothing wrong with yelling at the television as long as you don't expect them to hear you and then change their behavior based on your displeasure. :)

Fiar:
Skul said weird, not retarded...that would be the Ice Capades or Ice Follies or Smuckers Stars on Ice.

JoeC:
Heh... :)
