On my CHAIR, woman!
Mar. 25th, 2005 05:48 pmI was doing a bunch of translating last night for French homework, and my sister asked if since I was up I would mind ripping some CD's onto her computer for her. I agreed, and she brought the TV tray next to the treadmill over next to my computer for her laptop. I left it there last night, since it was still working on CD's. So I come upstairs, throw my backpack in the corner, and am a split second from plopping down on my computer chair when I notice that it is very white.
My mother put my sister's year-old, thousand-dollar laptop ON MY CHAIR. Who does that? Didn't she learn her lesson when she stepped on my dad's laptop forever ago and completely busted it? And isn't it a bit hypocritical of her to have told my dad it was his fault because he put it on the floor (right next the the couch, in the corner, where no one ever walks--it was dumb, but not nearly as dumb as she made it out) and then for her to put it on a CHAIR? How completely, insanely ILLOGICAL do you have to be to do something like that? I can see exactly how that scene would have turned out if I'd noticed half a second later that my chair was white--OMGosh, WTHeck did you do?! How did you sit on a LAPTOP?! It's WHITE, for Pete's sake!! Her real reaction? You could hear her rolling her eyes. She sounded like a bleeding teenager. Fine, whatever.
Sometimes I just can't believe my mother. She keeps me in near constant amazement.
