As I'm getting older, I find I'm not turning into my mom but I'm turning into my ex-best friend's mom. She was stark-raving mad and would sing songs to wake my friend and I up each morning, particularly for church on Sundays.
"Rise, shine, and give God your glory glory.." and "Wake up, the witch is dead! Rub your eyes get out of bed!..", etc.
Yeah. I do that now with my son. Hmm.
This was the same woman who, while I was in Basic training, sent me pictures from my childhood with my ex-best friend's face cut out of them. This was her own daughter, mind you. WTF?!
So yes, it scares me very much to find I'm turning into this woman. Or at least showing signs of it.
And also I'm actually completely fine being a little loony. Because I wouldn't be me if I were sane. And people seem to like me, insanity and all, so it can't be that bad, right? ..Right?
Sincerely,
The Girl Upstairs
Wait until you hit your 30s. It takes crazy to a whole new level. A good level. Just a crazier level.
ReplyDeleteDid I say level enough?
