Like Mother, Like Daughter
By Marisa | February 20, 2008
My mom and I have a special relationship. We’re very different in so many ways and yet, we have these really annoying similarities. Take today, for instance.
My mother called to ask me to remember back a few days, to when she stopped by my house. She asked me if i remembered where she stopped before she got here and where she stopped on her way home. Most people would think that’s very odd. I didn’t.
My mom and I tell each other where we’re going, reciting the things we need to do as if we’re recording our to-do list for the day. We each politely listen to the other, knowing we’ll remember only half of what we hear and hoping it’s the right half.
In this case, I remembered the right half. I recalled one of my mom’s stops that day and she was instantly relieved. Why, you may wonder? Well, it’s because she’d written at check at that stop but hadn’t written it in her register. At lest once a week, either my mom or I go through this little exercise, trying to recall where we’ve been so that we can be sure not to end up with a checking account overdraft.
I don’t have this problem as often these days since I try ot use my debit card most of the time. Still, it happens now and then for me and almost weekly for her. What a strange trait for my mom to pass on to me. Gee, thanks mom!
