It was my mom’s birthday a few days ago.. we haven’t spoken in years - so i decided to surprise her with a call

Me (from a blocked number): “Happy Birthday mom”

Mom: “i knew it was you!!!”

Me: “How are you?”

Mom: “I’m good.. getting ready to retire.. But hey.. do you still have your gun?”

Me: “Yes?”

Mom: “Is it loaded?”

Me: “Yes??”

Mom: “Did your ex ___ ever pick up those bullets?”

Me: “i don’t like when you bring him up”

Mom: “Okay I won’t bring him up anymore”

…

..and idk if I’ll ever fully understand the things that concern her - but it was nice speaking to her.. she tickles me.. still

Any moms out there feel free to chime in.. i’m curious to know a mother’s thought process - it’s so bizarre to me lol
