Reason #242 I love my mother: She calls me and tells me goofy little stories.
In the middle of a conversation, my mother says, “I called you the other day and you never called me back!”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t see your call! What’s up?”
“Remember when we were talking about how dumb those ear piece [bluetooth] things make people look?”
“Yes.” (Visions of Dave’s lovely illustration pop into my head. Thanks Dave.) “Why, did someone you know get one?”
“No, no… I was in ALDI the other day and I saw this guy wearing one. He was just so gorgeous… he could be a model! I kept staring at him, and when I saw him wearing the ear piece, he didn’t looked dumb at all! It looked good on him!”
I’m laughing at this point.
“So, I guess if you’re really HOT,” she continues, “they look good on you! But if you’re kind of goofy-looking to begin with, you just look even goofier wearing one.”
Ha ha. Does anyone else think it’s funny to hear a parent describe someone as “hot”?

If my mom even knew what a bluetooth earpiece was, I’d be shocked. I think I’d pass out if I heard her use the word hot in any way other than referring to exact temperature or spiciness of something!!
I have one to use in the car, but I would never, ever wear it outside or in public. Sure, it’s hard to steer a grocery cart, grab food, and talk on the phone, but that just means I have an excuse to hang up.
My daughter gets mad at me all the time when I describe someone as “hot” or “cute”. She’s 10, so I guess it is expected that I am supposed to be the mom only, and not notice cute/hotness.
