Unfiltered Story #279617

(So with the Quarantine, my youngest daughter is completing her Senior year of high school online . Most of her classes are honor level dual credit courses. Meaning that when she completes the classes and maintains a certain grade point average, she will get college credit for them. As a result, her and I just talk about what is do when and when she is going to get it done. I don’t help at all because I would be no help at all. My late husband, who we lost in a car accident last summer, was the one who would have been able to help. He was a very smart man with a quick wit, who could always make you laugh, about anything. Me, I just get lucky sometimes, and come up with the perfect response. As most of my co-workers have younger children who need more help with their school work, I got some dirty looks from them when I said I don’t help my daughter with her school work. I had told her about this. Also in the middle of all of this her job at a local (there is only one) fast food place ( drive thru only, well right now) has been working her a lot more hours. So she has been fitting in school work when she can. That being said she still has to do thing for her PE (physical education) class. One of the things she can do for this class is yoga. She puts her video up at on the tv in the living room last night .)

I am sitting in my chair scrolling through Facebook while she is doing yoga

Lady on yoga video talking about how this yoga set( or whatever they are called) is meant to relax you sleep

Daughter: I guess I picked the right one to do before bed.

Daughter going through the routine.

Lady on video: This is also good to help calm anxiety

Daughter: You have no idea.

Lady on yoga video: Now let’s take this next moment to just be quiet and relax, (continues to talk)

Me: You know it is kind of hard to have a “quiet moment” when She won’t stop talking. A “Quiet moment”means you shut the heck up.

Daughter: I know. I was just thinking that she needed to shut up.

Me: I guess me talking is not helping your “Quiet Moment” either

Me: Does this count towards helping with your homework?

Daughter: Laughing to hard to speak for a second. Does roasting the yoga lady count as helping with my homework?

Me: I think it should count since I can’t help anywhere else. And that was a pretty good comeback. Your Father would have been so proud of me for that one.

Laughs some more, has to reverse the video to catch part she missed, continues and never gives me an answer. So I still don’t know if it counts.
