Time To Wake Up And Smell The Coffee

(I work an early morning shift and get done at 10 am. I’m meeting my mother after work to run a few errands and we stop at a fast food restaurant so I can get a bite to eat.)

Mom: “I hate to drag you around if you’re tired. If you want to just go home and sleep I’ll be fine on my own.”

Me: “I’m fine.” *waving my cup of pop* “I’ve got my caffeine fix now.”

Mom: “I really wish you wouldn’t do that. Caffeine isn’t good for you.”

Me: “…You’re telling me this while you’re drinking your second coffee of the day?”

Mom: “Well, yes. But that’s different!”
