Off to work I go

Mom: Your hair looks unbrushed.
A.: [Shrug]

My hair never looks brushed. There is little I can do to my hair to give it the appearance of being brushed, and that little involves a lot of product. And all the product in my parents' house expired at least fifteen years ago.

Mom: That blazer is too small for you.
A.: It's fine, mom.

If it doesn't look three sizes too big, mom sees it as too small. The blazer is fine.

Can you imagine what it would be like if I took her to work with me?

Mom: That sentence doesn't work.
Mom: You did that wrong.
Mom: Why did you do that?
Mom: You shouldn't have done that.

On the bright side, we can both benefit from ten or so hours apart.
