Mother Talkers: Comments Less meat, more filling

your suggestion has merit (0 / 0)

I'd have to ask my sister, though. Ask my mother for something like that? A.) if you get it within six months of the original request, you're lucky; and B.) The self-aggrandizement about having done a "favor", plus the ridiculous, ledger-balancing favor she asks to have done back again means it's just not worth it.

  I suspect your mother and mine have the same modus operandi. That's why I get my sister to do all the shipping and repackaging. She still owes me for a couple of plane tickets to Australia...and a couple to Hawaii. Not that I think she owes me...I just wanted to see her and didn't care if I had to pay to get her out here. But she's got a guilt thing. Works for me if I can get Amazon packages easier!

      Twelve thousand miles is almost far enough.
