TOPIC:

I just had a conversation with my 21 year old son that left me laughing hysterically and wondering about myself. I just got home from work and he was on his way out the door. This was it:

Chris: I'm going to a show tonight.

Me: Oh, where is it?

Chris: A club in Pittsburgh.

Me: Where in Pittsburgh?

Chris: I'm not sure.

Me: You're not sure? What if it's a bad part of town. People get shot there all the time! Don't you watch the news?

Chris: Mom, can't you ever just say, "Okay, have a good time"! Don't you ever want me to have fun?

Me: Of course I want you to have fun, but I also want you to be aware at all times.

Chris: Oh great. Now you have me looking over my shoulder all night thinking I'm going to get shot.

Me: Well...you should be careful.

Chris: Okay, I'm leaving now.

Me: Okay. I love you - and be careful!

Chris: "And have a good time"!

And he left. After he walked out, it struck me funny. I laughed so hard the dogs were grinning at me. Am I the only one that thinks like this or is it normal Mother talk?

Yes it's normal - been there, done that!!!!

lol, Yeah it is normal, i am not a mother, but my mother still tells me to be drive carefully or be carefull whenever i leave the house. Not only that, i still have to text her every morning when i get to work to let her know i got there safety lol. and i am 25 in June this year lol

Sounds like mom speak to me.
yes you are normal.... LOL

Lol i do it to the cat! I say don't go away & don't be late, stay in the garden & be a good girl! Polly cat normally does as she's told and i think she appreciates her mam worrying about her. lol.
Did he have a good time?

Ha, yes. He got home and the first words out of his mouth were "I had a good time".

My teen girls can't go to school, to a move, or to run a quick errand without a crime and safety lecture from their mom. (A lawyer - I only see it when it goes badly. No one ever ends up in my office because they had a great day.) We celebrate Smother's Day in our home. (And their Dad is even worse!)
