reasons my mother is insane

#107 My mom claims that one of the pairs of pants I wear for work are too short. While the other pants that I wear are ok. The pants in question are the same size as all the rest. They could not be any different then the others. They were all bought at the same place, and she was there to witness it. She demands that I discontinue use and hand them over. She even picked up a pair to swap them for. I refuse because there is nothing wrong with them. She says something about them almost everyday. As time goes on she makes comments about other people's pants being too short. I have no idea what this obsession is.

#145 I wear undershirts at work. My mom does can not comprehend why I would want to during the summer but that is not the point. She saw me wearing one after work one day and she said, "That is anything but white and should be thrown away". What she fails to hear me say or even acknowledge is that I had only gotten it out of the package that morning. There is not way it could be whiter, that is the way ot came. I also blame the poor lighting in my house as a cause of the dingey off white. She insisted on bleaching them, making them atomic white. I don't care what they look like because no one sees them at work. I guess I don't get it.

No one will ever know why moms obsess over random, entirely inconsequential things. Why does the state of your undershirt matter? Maybe it doesn't matter why it matters. I think you should counter these random attacks thusly:

"That shirt is anything but white."

"Raisin Bran has 2% more fiber per serving than Frosted Mini Wheats."

...at which point, she will probably ask what that has to do with anything. Then you say "absolutely nothing" and go mow some more zen.
