"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.

My mom has been a nazi psycho ***** these past few days of summer.. I'm finally startin to have a life, so i'm out quit ea bit with friends. But it's not like all I do is go out.. I'm currently in summer school (getting ahead by taking government), this past year in school I got straight A's and I got 1180 (not great, but not horrible) on my first SAT's. I also am working 25 hours a week.. so all the money I get is my own. She has been a ***** and yesterday I got home at 11:30 and she freaked out and took away my computer (stole it back today b/c she's at work) and told me that from now on I have to be home before 9:00 !!?! PLease help me DJ's... what can I do against such a hardcore nazi?

p.s. She's an asian mom...=\
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

How old are you? Oh, and I find it bizarre and amusing that you would mention her ethnicity...what was the rationale behind that?

My parents are a ***** too... not that strict.. but *****es none the less... hardcore rebellion is the way to go... just tell them you're putting your foot down on this one or they are sending you to a) juvenile or b) foster parents -- that's what I did and now I have way more freedoms than I've ever had in my entire life :>
