A quick, illegal work-time post. Because my mom is funny.
Kris: My eye is still twitching and the eye doctor said I should drink tonic water. So I told your dad last night she said I should drink tonic water, and he said, "Because of the quinine?" How could he know that?
Anna: I wonder what it's for.
Kris: I don't know, I was busy looking at how weird her hair style was.
And wondering how she got it to do that.
And then wondering why you have to wait so long to see doctors.
And I was a little miffed at her, so I didn't listen to her all the way.
And she had a very large wedding diamond on her finger.
And I thought, I wonder how much money she makes?
And maybe I should change doctors.
Because she seems rather young.
Anna: You're such an old lady.
Kris: I am.
Anna: When did that happen?
Kris: Last year.
Anna: Maybe when you joined AARP.
Kris: That was it! Yes, that was it!
Moms are funny! Tjis is my first time stopping by and I just have to tell you that I love your banner!

Your mother sounds like a riot! And yes, maybe she should change doctors--someone with a more normal hair style.

I thought everyone knew about quinine. It's a natural antibiotic like tea tree oil and was used as a therapy for malaria back in the day. It also has muscle relaxant properties which are perhaps helpful for relaxing little eye sockety muscles. But more importantly it makes gin and tonics taste just right.
