Mom... All three of them?
In the tag below, I was asked to come up with seven statements about my mom. So I did. And I wrote them about my actual-real mom, Ruth.
But there are other people that I jokingly call Mom. There's Suzy, whom everyone knows already, I think.
Then there's Jody. Or JP as everyone around here calls her. Well, except me. I call her "Mom". She's funny; she's a little crazy; she's just all-around awesome. She's the egotistical, super-liberal history instructor at my college. And she will admit that she is egotistical. In fact, in her syllabus, she said, "And try not to leave class early. It doesn't do much for my ego." What other instructors have that? Very few or none, I reckon.
"Mom" thought that my brothers and I were just the cat's meow, so she 'adopted' us. It embarrasses David no end, Michael just rolls his eyes, and I think it is so much fun.
You should see the looks on people's faces when I say, "Hi Mom!" and she replies, "Hi Honey!" We don't look similar at all, for starters. So the students other wait until she's gone, and then they ask me very quietly, "Is she really your... mother?" No... :-P
On the subject of her being slightly crazy... Her class syllabus also says, "In case of confusion, come see me. I will try to add to it." Add to the confusion? Uh... thanks...
She's also known for always having a Coke.
I'm going to miss her this summer, but I will be back in the fall to haunt her with chocolate-covered dill pickles... Which actually aren't that bad... |
