In your eye bubble eye

I always find it funny that parents completely stop functioning while their children are with them. All of a sudden they seriously can not do anything and it really makes you wonder.. what the heck do you do when I am not around? How do you seriously function in life if you all of a sudden you do not know how to text someone but you text just fine we we aren't hanging out?Well tonight I fell victim once again to my Mothers incapacity to do anything while I am at her house. It went a little something like this...

Mom: Will you start Nexflux for me
Me: Mom it is called Netflix I do not know how many times I have told you
Mom: Whatever will you start it for me
Me: If you take me to the swapmeet Sunday (we had just previously dicussed how we both wanted to go)
Mom: You are cold Nattie
Me: I am just kidding Mom I will do it tomorrow morning
Mom: You know you are not coming over tomorrow
Me: I promise Mom
Mom: Please..
Me: Mom! you know you know how to do it yourself why don't you just sign up for the Nexflux! (of course I say NexFlux to make fun)

and in that moment she just looked at me with all the love someone could and as if she just was caught like a child and says...

" I know"

I know!!! JUST I KNOW!!

So as we have all suspected in life our parents really do know how to do daily tasks and trivial things without us, but I think its cute that they don't even remotely try to do them if we are around. So here I am on a Friday night setting up my Mothers Nexflux and what is she doing? Well what else of course but playing Wii because she cannot go online and sign up for Netflix but she sure can figure out how to start a game console and start her favorite tennis game! Really though I would not change any of this for the world. I am pretty sure I have the best mother in the world








and then as she wins she looks at me and says " In your eye bubble eye" and we just laugh
