the downside

the downside of being in the same industry as your mother is when you go to industry cocktail parties after work and get smashed with your colleagues. your mother is there to tap you on your shoulder and ask, "how much have you had to drink? do you want to leave with me? your dad is downstairs waiting. we can drop you off at home. i'm going in 15 mins."

oh dear god.

i think she will be retiring in 5 years. at least i hope so.
