Conversations with my mother, no. 3450934594:

"[person she works with] reminds me of you... yeah, she doesn't know anything, and when she talks people laugh and say, 'what are you saying?'"



...why do I even exist.

Ah, mothers have their own special way of encouraging, but in this instance she seems to have described someone nothing like you. *hugs*

This.

Your mother seems to have confused you with someone else, as have good evidence that you know many useful things, and also Remus Lupin's middle name.

She is silly, even if she does make tasty things involving potatoes. Maybe she does not know what you are talking about because, omg, she is not a lawyer? Just a thought.

I imagine your boy will be on hand more than I can be, but poke me if you want wake-up calls, pictures of Zachary Quinto doing amusing things, amusing dances, etc. *hugs*

Oh, honey. *hugs you* FWIW, I think you're exceptionally brilliant, and troyswann and I were actually discussing that very thing this past weekend. I have no idea what your mother could possibly have been referring to!

Mothers. Can't live with 'em, can't change the locks.

Dunno if it will help, but -- my dear sainted mother, on hearing I'd gotten a part in 'Cinderella': "Oh, darling, that's fantastic! I knew they'd give you either the Evil Stepmother or one of the Ugly Stepsisters!"

*slides something alcoholic down the bar towards you*

Agreed with what someone said above: quite possibly if your mother doesn't understand many of the things you say these days, it's because they are legal things. Also, you are in fact the diametric opposite of That Person. You're the person who talks and people gape and say, "How does she know that?" (Well, I frequently do, anyway.)

What is it with mothers and their casual, couched-as-well-meaning insults? Mine has been known to say things like--while I'm trying on an article of clothing--"I don't like that. It's very you." *headdesk*

Thinking good thoughts for your revising.

I'm sure you know much, much useful stuff.
