… roommate would rebut your-mom jokes with, “my mom is in the hospital.”
And, I’m cynical because I had fun watching the once self-aggrandized faces immediately hide the smile and inquire with a strong apology as to why his, (my roommate’s), mom, who moments earlier was, “so fat when she jumped up she got stuck,” is in the hospital. To which, he would reply, “because she works there.”
Another good time to keep your mouth shut is while you’re brushing your teeth.
I opened mine this morning to get the outside of my front row (and tongue) and got white speckles of toothpaste paint all over one of my favorite shirts (plus, the mirror, faucet and coutner).
So, I now proclaim today as less-casual Wednesday, becuase I put the tie in my to-be-dry-cleaned pile, turned off the A/C and left for work.
Sometimes you, (and your mom), just have to know when to keep your, (and her), mouth shut.
