Quote of the day:

My professor, to the Army Fellows in my class: "Don't they teach you guys not to say bad things about the President and Vice President? They don't cover that in basic training?"

Also, I was talking to my mother today, and I mentioned that I'd been reading Budget Travel magazine and now I want to take a cooking class in Italy. We also talked about work a bit, and then this happened:

Mom: "So, did you pick a class yet?"
Me: "Uh... no."
Mom: "Don't you need to do that?"
Me: "Not right now. It's kind of... early."
Mom: "When's the deadline?"
Me: "Um, I think they pretty much have them all year round. There aren't any deadlines."
Mom: "Well, we [the school my mom works at] have classes all year round, too, but we still have deadlines."
Me: "...Are we talking about the same thing?"
Mom: "I'm talking about your [grad school] class that got canceled. What are you talking about?"
Me: "The cooking class in Italy!"
Mom: "Well, you probably want to wait until you've booked airfare before you choose a class."
Me: "I know! That's why I thought you were so weird. Weren't we just talking about Italy?"
Mom: "Oh. I move quickly. Try to keep up."

*sigh* I should never have introduced her to witty banter.

When Parents Learn to Banter is when you've officially entered the Twilight Zone. So far, my mom has only learned to recognize when I'm doing snarky banter for the sake of snarky banter, but I wouldn't put it past her to learn to snark back sometime.

I think it was The West Wing that did it. But we find each other very amusing, so it's okay. :)

Can I be adopted into your family? You guys are just neat (as Gandalfy Willow might say).

Heh, we are pretty cool, if I do say so myself. :)
