I’m Working On It, Mom
Less Than 4 Minutes
The amount of time it took my mother to call me after I posted Anyone Wanna Trade To-Do Lists. (Note: 3.5 of those minutes were spent trying to figure out how to work her phone. The intent to call came 10 seconds after said post).
And yeah, that’s my mom in a nun costume. Why do you ask?
A Golden Opportunity
This blizzard seems like the perfect opportunity to join Tinder, as it is a known fact that anything you do during a blizzard cannot be held against you in a court of public opinion about the state of your life*.
*public opinion includes family**
**family includes you, Mom***
***Someone please explain Tinder to my mom****
****You know what? Maybe don’t.*****
*****Mom– Tinder is a place where nice, rich, Jewish men go to find intelligent, head-strong, confident women who absolutely don’t NEED a man but regardless would be fine settling down with a guy who likes wine and Tina Fey and buying diamonds and going to the Breakers in Palm Beach every winter.******
******I know, it’s a weirdly specific site.
