My mom says, “Hey, I could do that, be someone’s rabbit’s foot.” I just glanced over and stared at her, like she’d lost her ever-lovin’ mind! Because I -knew- that she so didn’t like being touched by strangers.

She stared right back. “What? I could! As long as they were going to feed me!” Blithely.

Stare. “Mother. That means that they would actually have to touch you."  

She stared back at me dumbly before it dawned on her.  "Oh.  Well, I guess I won't be doing that, then, food or not."

Is it bad that that made me laugh when I thought 'So you're not that easy, huh?' Thankfully, I have the brains not to say that.

 Was still amusing.
