So yesterday I called my mom and she didn't answer the phone so I left a message. For a long time whenever she leaves a message for me she always says "Hi this is your mother" which just cracks me up....like I don't know her voice. So, I've been giving her a hard time about that (jokingly of course) and started saying "this is your son" when I leave a message for her. The other day she called and I answered the phone and said "hello this is your son." Her response: "Is this my gay son?" We both had a good laugh about it. It just felt really really good because she has had a difficult time saying the g word. Life is good! (!)
