Signs That Your Mother - And By Extension YOU - Are Getting Old


Mom: Are you eating right now?

Me: Yes, ma'am.

Mom: What are you eating?

Me: Biscuits and gravy.

Mom: Biscuits and gravy?

Me: Yes, ma'am.

Mom: Is it just regular gravy, or did you use sausage?

Me: It's sausage gravy, Mom.

Mom: You like that stuff?

Me: It's your recipe, Mom.

Mom: My recipe?

Me: Yes, ma'am.

(pause)

Mom: You know, Charles. There's a reason I had all those heart attacks.

Happy Birthday, Mom.
