Aug. 20th, 2008 11:29 amR's mum came over after the game last night. That was...yeah. He came BOLTING into the flat and announced, "Mom's parking the car. She says she really needs to pee."
"Why didn't you just tell her we have no toilet paper?" I said, which was true. He ignored me in favour of hiding several incriminating items including two pipes, three lighters, a pack of cigarettes, an ashtray, and a DVD of extremely dubious literary value.
"Do you know the lecture I would have gotten? Do we have ANY toilet paper?"
I hope she's happy, I sacrificed an Emergency Toilet Paper Roll for her (not to worry, I ordered peapod last night, the toilet paper issue will be remedied this evening).
But naturally no parent would be satisfied to pee and depart, so she hung out in our kitchen for a while looking like she wanted to sweep the floor but was well aware that R would strangle her if she suggested it. She confined herself to noticing that our dishwasher door was open, because I'd just run the dishwasher and left the door open so that the plates and such could cool down. AWKWARD MOMENT OF THE NIGHT:
R's Mum: Do you run the dishwasher on antibacterial setting? You should always run the dishwasher on antibacterial setting.
Sam: Hey, tell R, my new place hasn't got a dishwasher.
Totally did not intend a passive-aggressive reminder that she punted me unceremoniously from my home, but from the expression on her face, R could really get the upper hand with his mother if he employed guilt more often.
