Mom: I'll help put away your mail, Cathy. What's your system. Cathy: My system? Mom: You're an independent, inventive woman. I'm sure you've developed your own unique system which I will honor, respect and learn from! Cathy: Oh, for cying out loud, Mother! My system is dictated by the system you dumped on me with the rest of the gene pool! Mom: You haven't tried your own system? Cathy: Of course, I've tried my own system! Hundreds of them! Every system I try gets over-ruled by the system you implanted in my brain! Here! I pile the mail on the counter..vow to read it later..dump tomorrow's mail on top..repeat until I hit disgust overload..then I throw out everything I was going to read except letters, bills and expired coupons, which I stuff in this drawer! Sound familair, Mother?? Mom: Very creative! I stuff my coupons in the middle drawer, not the top! Cathy: Aack! Mom: I gave her wings and now she circles me like a vulture.
