Shopping With Mom Can Be Murder

I’m on a grocery trip with my mother. The shopping list is not nearly as long as usual, and she describes it as “sketchy.” A few minutes after we get into the store, I get a look at the list, and it’s mostly foodstuffs and some consumables.

Me: “When you said the shopping list was sketchy, I thought it was going to be like bleach and trash bags or something.”

It takes a moment for her to process what I said, but when she does, she starts laughing.

Mom: “You’re awful!”
