Ah yes, the "Mom" thing. It was weird. Weird AF, if I may employ a bit of hip internet slang.

Sarah wanted to come and see me that day. Period. And she wanted me to meet her Mom. In turn, she could ask her Mom what she thought of me. For her approval or disapproval I guess. That's the only conclusion I can draw. And she was going to come up with any pretext she could think of to make those two things happen. She lives a half hour away. She was grasping at straws. Oh okay.... if you want... I can put the Lord of the Rings movies plus a few others on a flash drive. STOP. Okay Sarah, do that it you'd like, and then the next time you see me or if you want to leave the stick on my clipboard at work.. whatever.... that would be fine. But NO. She says, 'hey I have an idea... how about I hand deliver the stick to you in person, and oh heck I forgot I take my Mom for drives on Sunday mornings anyways, so... and so on.

She wanted her Mom to meet me, and assess me. I'm utterly convinced.

Out of whack? Yes. Out of proportion? Yes. Out of sequence of time? YESSSSSSS!!!

Sarah bringing Mom around THE VERY FIRST TIME I ever spend any time alone with her outside of work... was quite simply... weird.

AF.

Cheers and thanks for your comments!
