Everybody Loves Their Mamas
I was helping one of our clients at work today, with a third party vendor. Our client wanted the vendor's best advice, so she asked him, "Tell me, Mike, what would you recommend to your mama?"
I said, "Wow, I guess that is a good question to ask."
She said, "Well, of course, because universally everyone loves their mamas."
I said, "Well, probably about 98 percent of the population." (just being wry)
She said very pointedly, "Well, where I come from, everybody loves their mamas."
It made me feel sick to my stomach. I know I love my mother, but there is so much about her that I do not like at all. I felt very shamed at that moment.
Just felt the need to share with others who know where I am coming from.
