This Saying Is Not A Keeper
(My mother never, ever says anything besides the following when asked if she’s seen something.)
Stepdad: “Honey where are my keys?”
Mother: “I don’t know. I’m your wife, not your keeper.”
Brother: “Mom, have you seen the TV remote?”
Mother: “I’m your mother, not your keeper.”
Me: “Why do you keep saying that? It’s annoying.”
Mother: “Because it’s true.”
(Later in the day.)
Mother: “Have you seen-”
Me: *without missing a beat* “I’m your daughter, not your keeper.”
(Pause.)
Mother: “Wow. That is annoying.”
