Transcript:
Cathy: Now what, mom? Mom: I didn't speak. I didn't look. Didn't glance. Didn't gesture. Didn't fidget. Didn't sigh. Cathy: But you worked so hard to stifle the impulse to do those things that the air particles around your head vibrated and made me all jumpy and defensive! Dad: Incredible. Mom: I know. Do I criticize the ridiculous accusation or compliment her keen observational skills?

Where is Cathy’s grandmother? I think her mom could use a visit from an annoying mother…then there would be 3 of them going crazy..hahahaha

Lightenup and Butterfly, I think you’re both right on! The presence of a mother might make any adult revert to something pretty pathetic. And adding a generation to the phenomenon could provide all involved with an instructive example of how silly it looks.

You know what they’re thinking just by looking at them. You know if they are about to flip out or if they are in a rare normal mood, which Cathy’s mom is clearly not. All the little criticisms are leading up to THE BIG ONE!
