This mom is your mom

I know I shouldn't be mean to my mother, especially as it's Mother's Day (in the US anyway, it was two months ago this side of the pond). But Allison's words strike a resounding chord with me, to say the least, and I bet they do with you, too em:-)

"Well, ring out the bells, I got paid today. I immediately sent off my rent and now I'm broke again. Thank God Mother is here to make sure I don't die of starvation or exposure. Of course, I may throw myself under a bus because of her constant advice-giving...but that is unlikely to happen, as she would not let me stand close enough to the curb."
