Mom makes me laugh

Yesterday I had to explain myself to mom after I told her that I went ring shopping with Brandon. She was having a fit because she thinks I haven't known him long enough. This is how part of our conversation went:

mom: You're crazy. You haven't known him long enough.
me: Mom, how long did you know dad before you two were engaged?
mom: I was 22.
me: I didn't ask you how old you were; I asked you how long you had known each other.
mom: I don't remember.
me: You don't remember, or you don't want to tell me? I think you just don't want to tell me, because I remember hearing that it was something like 2 weeks. At 4 months, we totally beat you.

Oh, mom. That made my day.

  1. OK, you beat me, but I've been married for 31 years. Beat that, Shady!

  2. time is but a relative thing
    winds of change and what they bring
    some things last others, but a fling
    before you know it, that man asks... "have you the ring?"
