My mom hates the Acme in Lansdale

[supercheesegirl]

(a phone call)
Mom: Hello?
Me: Hey Mom, it's me. I'm at the grocery store, do you need anything?
Mom: Which store are you at?
Me: The Acme.
Mom: Oh God, you poor thing!

I don't know why she hates the Acme so much. She just does. It's not so bad there, really.

In other news, this morning Mom took my packed lunch instead of her own. Now she's got the hummus and pita bread I was all excited about, and I was left with crackers. I have already sent a snarky, guilt-inducing email to her work email address ("I hope you enjoy your lunch. I know I would have."). And it's funny, because last night as we were packing lunches, I was telling her how pleased I was about the special treat this hummus would be for my lunch and how much I was looking forward to it, and she said something like, "If that was my lunch, I wouldn't be looking forward to it, I'd be dragging my heels and not excited at all."

Hopefully she will buy herself a lunch she will actually enjoy and bring home my hummus so I can have tomorrow instead.

hahaha, the fates sure played a funny joke on her! That's pretty awesome.

It wasn't funny or awesome, it was heartbreaking! I was so disappointed when I saw my nice lunch was gone!

...But she did call me when she opened the lunch looking for her yogurt and found my hummus. She said she'd put it back in the fridge and bring it home tonight so that I can have it tomorrow.

ok, true, it wasn't awesome for you. But for her to be all hating on your lunch and saying how awful it would be for her to accidentally take yours, and then to end up with it after that? Sounds like irony to me! Though I always misidentify irony...

Fear not! 'Tis irony.
