I want to do right, but not right now

I was telling my mother about some of my reservations about The Guy. I said that I had a good time talking to him but I don’t think I’ll go out with him again even if he calls (though I’m not totally decided). She said “Why Not?” I said, “I just don’t think it’s a good idea.” She said, “but if you had a nice time…” I say, “Mmm, I don’t think so…” So she says, “but I don’t understand why.”
….
So I say: “MOMMY, I DON’T THINK I WANT TO SLEEP WITH HIM!”

She was a little embarrassed that she hadn’t gotten it, “I must be getting old,” she murmured. I guess I should have lied and said “nope, no chemistry.”

In other fun news, I carried three gallons of this color paint home from the hardware store today. The box must have weighed at least 50 lbs and I kept having to stop and rest. I ran into the super on the way home and he said that I must be crazy. “If you had called me, I would have driven you in the van.” If I had called him, he would have told me he was too busy.

It’s Purim and I want to make Hamantaschen. I’ll see if I can resist temptation.

    Oh no, your mom! Did you scandalize her? The paint is nice.

    I think she was mostly embarrassed that I had to spell it out for her.

    Too lazy to look it up - is Hamman…the pastries or that yummy fruit/nut salad? Either way, I want some. Right now. Thanks.

    I like that it’s Easter and you’re thinking of Passover food.
