How about putting the ******* laundry in the ******* dryer yourself, **** face.
Boidy, you're my kinda gal. When my son was 14 and was really cool, he didn't like his schoolmates to think he had parents. One evening I was dropping him off for a school dance or something special and he insisted I drop him off about 3 blocks from the entrance, I said why walk in the dark and his 14 year old self said, he didn't want his friends knowing he had to be dropped off by his uncool mom. ok, I was a little steamed but just waited.........Didn't have to wait long, for reasons I still don't know my husband got "an invitation" to test drive a 86 Baby Bens. Well not only were we not in the market, we didn't need a car we couldn't afford. But my husband loves cars, and Eric overheard our conversation when Rodney called and made an appt. to drive a car that neither one of us could afford to buy. Then, Mr. Super cool said wow are you going to test drive the Mercedes model (I can't remember what it was) and we said yes, he immediately asked if he could go with us. So, I hemmed and hawed a little and said ok, but he would have to lay flat on the back seat, he asked 'why?' and I told him that very few of our friends and co workers knew we had children. He was a tad pissed, but got the msg., and yes we took him and didn't make him lay flat, He loves cars. We didn't buy the Mercedes, because we didn't have that kind of money. But the Prince learned a lesson that day.
But the laundry lesson didn't gell until he was around 15.
There is a lesson to be learned here folks, Moms don't forget anything that might be useful at a later date. 14 year old boys can't image those creaky old uncool 38 year old women ever did anything, we were born at age 30. If you think you are sharp as tack, and your mom is dull, think again. your mom has been 14, you haven't gotten to 38 yet.
