Recently, I had a very humorous incident with my beloved mother – in which I said something on the spur of the moment . . .
This is a True Story I call MINNIE DESERVES IT.
My mother and I were at one of her friend’s house – watching things while she was out. I was at the fridge, raiding the soda, she was standing over at the breakfast nook looking at something.
I turned around as she held up a mouse trap. It was about the size of her hand, still wrapped in clear plastic, with a piece of cheese attacked to it. “She’s going to kill Minnie,” she cried. My kind-hearted mother was truly hurt by this thought.
That’s when I hit her up with this: “The little whore deserves it.” I just made this stuff up on the spur of the moment, but it was good and I apparently delivered it so seriously, “She’s married to Mickey, sleeping with Goofy and having Donald’s kid.”
The look of shock, awe mixed with belief was amazing. “Really?” My mother said with her mouth little a gasped, she believed every word I had just let fly.
I stuttered for a moment, unsure what to say. Her reaction was not one I expected, and it was genuine. “Uh, no, mom.” I must have had some look on my face. “They’re just cartoon characters.”
“I know that!” She said, still with the mouse trap in hand.
“Did you believe me?” I asked.
She never gave me a direct answer. “Well, how would I know? I don’t keep up with that stuff. I don’t know what they’re are doing on those shows. You do.”
Yes, seriously. I made a sarcastic, spur of the moment quip (a really good one), and for a split second my mother honestly believe it. She thought, just maybe, it was something being done in a story, not just me making crap up.
Gotta love her.
Though, to be honest, it would be cool if Disney did do something like that.
Ace.
