(10) my mother
Nov. 10th, 2011 06:40 pmMe: Hi, mom, it's me.
Mom: Hey, you! Have you recovered from your phone ordeal?
Me: Barely! Now, I'm calling you to ask for another favor, and it's the kind of middlingly gross thing that you can only ask someone you love to do for you.
Mom: Oh, can't wait to hear it.
Me: Yeah, you better run! I have this sore spot on my head over my ear that's been bothering me, and I can't see it properly in a mirror. So I was hoping I could get you to take a look at it? It feels kind of like a skin tag or a mole that's just, I don't know, irritated, but I want to make sure that it's not something horrible that I should see a doctor about. Like an open, oozing sore, or a giant bloodsucking tick, or whatever.
Mom: Sure. You can meet us at the house and we'll check it out before we go out to eat.
Me: Okay, or we could just do it in the restaurant bar and let everyone watch, we'll be --
Me and Mom, together: Like monkeys grooming each other!
