I forgot to tell both of you on the phone:

Today I met Jason on campus after class, and he said that I was turning into mom because I was carrying around a little thermal mug with my tea in it. I myself knew this to be true the very moment that I took a big swig during my 2:30 class--the tea was cold by then, and I didn't even mind. I thought, "hmm, that's not so bad even when it's cold." And then I thought, "that's exactly what mom must think about her coffee in the car!"

How does Jason know about mom's coffee mug habits? Are we really that obvious?

I like you, mom. Turning into you isn't so bad after all (wink wink).
