Today I noticed.

By MJ

I keep  looking for a way to frame this and one isn’t coming – so I’m just gonna tell it like it is.

Today at dinner I was talking about the Smuckers Ice Skaters. (I should mention that my allergies are really bad right now, and I’m a bit stuffed up). When I mentioned Smuckers, three of the people at the table said that they heard Smokers – I must have said Smokers. I insisted that I didn’t and they continued to say that since three of them heard it they must be right. I can’t explain exactly why I was so frustrated by this other than KNOWING what I said (I admit when I have slip ups!) anyway… my mom spoke up and said that it probably just sounded like I said smokers because I was “nasally” because of my cold.

It might seem minor to all of you. But it’s HUGE to me. And all you Moms out there are going to tell me that she probably does it all the time and you might be right but TODAY I NOTICED her standing up for me and defending me.  I can’t even begin to explain what it means to me. I hope you all don’t think I’m too crazy.

On a side note we also (well she mostly decided) that we are going to go see Straight No Chaser at the Covelli Centre on October 10 and we are going to splurge get REALLY GOOD SEATS!
