An Understanding of Sorts


My mother does not understand. She really doesn't. She cannot understand why I do not hesitate to eat crumbly food over a recently vacuumed floor.

I do not understand my mother. I really don't. I cannot understand why the sight of crumbs on a recently vacuumed floor tortures her as it does.

And so, over time, we've come to a sort of understanding that we will never understand each other:)

CP-Thanks, you're the best:) I actually feel more resigned at this point than anything else. it's rarely ever any more than annoying:)and i think a lot of mom/daughter relationships are similar in that they're very diff. ppl. trying to get along.
