Moms Say The Dardnest Things
I visited my Mom for Christmas and was eating lunch by myself at the dining room table.
My Mom comes into the room and stands next to me to chat.
After a few minutes she makes a face and says:
"Matt, now don't take this the wrong way, but you smell very ripe."
Confused, I assure her that I shower regularly and wear deodorant. [What the hell, Mom?]
"I don't smell anything. I have no idea," I responded trying to not have it be super awkward.
She then says, "Oh wait, maybe it's the onions you're eating. Yes, yes it is. Sorry. I hope I didn't offend you."
...The next day, eating the same thing, my brother walks in and says "Woooo, so that's the smell Mom was talking about. Those onions are strong!!"
😂😂😂😂😂
Hey, it’s not just moms. At Christmas my grandfather (who I don’t talk to much and haven’t seen since probably last Christmas) came and set next to me to chat. He, in a very serious voice, said “Well Justine, I’ve got one thing to tell you.. at least you aren’t fat.” 🤔 and that was his message for the day. I mean, “thank you” is what came to mind.. but the seriousness of the situation was lost on me 😂
Moral of the story- People are a crazy mess.. but it makes life fun.
and seriously, lay off the onions dude
"I've got one thing to tell you too, Grandpa! You're not foolin' anyone with that toupée!"
Moral -- I lost 3 of my grandparents by the time I was 1, and the other had alzheimer's, so as awkward, ridiculous or distant as they can be at times, it's a blessing to have them in your life. (Preaching to the choir.)
