Got a letter in the mail yesterday.
Made the Dean's Honor Roll.
They might give that out to every Tom, Dick and Harry that attends, but still, I tacked the letter on the bulletin board anyway. Anyone who walks in the house is taken directly to the bulletin board and this will probably occur until the next semester starts. I asked Mom if she wanted a copy to hang on her fridge. She politely declined. I told her I'd fancy it up with crayon colorings if she wanted. Still declined.
Some people are just no fun after their kids reach their mid-30's.
I was born a semi-diva. I married a redneck. Through the magic of osmosis or just because of a serious lack of sophistication over the years I have found a balance of the two that make me who I am today. And then I write about it all, much to the chagrin of my mother.

Your mom just knows that it's going to turn into a habit, and she probably doesn't have room on her fridge for ALL of the letters you'll have.
