Took my girl to high school this morning, and we had the following conversation, which served to underscore, once again, how annoying mothers can be.

Girl: So, I'm asking Mario to Homecoming today. I brought the Pokemon ball I bought him.

Me: Oh, yes, that's right. You're going to give him the Pokamon ball --

Girl: PokEmon.

Me: -- the PokEmon ball, with a note inside that says please go to Homecoming with me.

Girl: No - not a note. You don't understand about Pokemon.

Me: Yes, I do. I know the ball opens, and there's a Pokamon inside, and --

Girl: PokEmon.

Me: -- there's a PokEmon inside, so it's like a little gift when you play video games.

Girl: No, Mom.

Me: And that's why you're giving --

Girl: No, it's more like ... see ... ugh!

Me: -- that's why you're giving him a Pokamon ball with a note inside.

Girl: Not a note! And it's PokEmon. PokEmon!

Me: Exactly! PokEmon! I told you I get it.

Luckily, the car was stopped when she jumped out. I never did find out what's the deal with giving the boy a Pokamon ball.

Heeeee!

I think she's appealing to his boy-ness with said Pokémon Ball. It's a clever way for her to ask him, since it would be entirely inappropriate for her to give him flowers, yes?

But one must wonder if he will balk and demand the whereabouts of the actual Pokémon?

Oh, to be a teenager again.

Not.

Q: Why should you never let Pokémon into the bathroom when you're showering?
A: Because he'll pikachu!

Haha! XD Oh man, I remember those days. Sometimes moms just can't understand. Nothing you can do about it, because if Mom just doesn't get it, it's pointless to try.

Memmmm-o-rieeeeeees!!!!
