"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

lol I saw the title and thought I was going to read an account of a truly awful experience or lifelong tale of misery at the hands of your mother.

I can't believe how mad you are that your mom wanted to spend time with you. Lighten up man, it's not so bad.

I wish my mom would buy me doughnuts.....Then again, she never buys me anything lol. She barely cares to cook hahaha. Don't even get me started on cleaning....

Well, the fact is that all these people love their parent because they no longer live with them. Well ****, put yourself in this guy's shoes, people! Can you stand living with your parents again? My dad loves my grandma to death but HATES it when she stays over. It's gonna be a true test of his [and my mother's] grit to see if they can handle being with her for 1-2 months cuz she wants to move in with us for a bit for whatever reason and my dad couldn't reason with her not to haha.
