Every day, my mum tells me about what happened on yesterday’s reality TV programs.
It’s really annoying because I do not watch reality TV in general. So, depending on the schedule, I get recaps of Amazing Race, Survivor, Daddy’s Little Girl1, and the like. I have no interest in these shows, and I hate having to listen to the recap.
Thank god she doesn’t watch American Idle2, because I think my head would explode if I had to feign interest in that as well.
I know someone is probably thinking, “Why don’t you just tell your Mum you don’t want to hear it?”
But, there’s a problem with that. I work with my mum, and I sit five feet from her for about eight hours a day. We’re the only people in the office, and she likes to talk to me occasionally throughout the day. And so reality-recaps are often the only thing she has to talk about.
At least yesterday she let me be smug all day about my straight As, even if she did ruin it when I was telling my dad.

- Unsure if this is really the title of this program. My mum doesn’t know for sure, and she says something different each time she brings it up. The show is about spoiled rich girls and their fathers. [back]
- Misspelled, I know. It’s Ben’s fault; after his AI post, it’s been stuck in my head. [back]
The email that I sent you keeps coming back.
I will be going to Folosm Lake College….
What one are you going to? Congrats on the A’s!
so.. when did you become brittish??? just wondering…
It seems thats shes always wanted to be british…. maybe you should look into what it takes to convert. Its like changeing religions right?
Ahem. I’ve been writing Mum instead of Mom for about a year now. Even on the old blog. And you is right, I do want to be British, even if it means he’ll never visit me for fear of hearing that “horrible accent.”
