ME: sitting at my desk, paying bills: "Hi, sweetie!" I say to my 17 yo daughter as she returns home from a sleepover.
DAUGHTER: "ughhhh", she replies with a pained look on her face.
ME: "Don't you feel well?"
DAUGHTER: "Mom, we ate at this vegan restaurant in the mall last night.
ME: "Nice."
DAUGHTER: "No, not nice. I had this atrocious tofu crap and it made me sick and I haven't eaten anything since."
ME: "Can I fix you something?'' How about some quesadillas?''
ME: Stir fry some veggies & rice?"
DAUGHTER: "No!" she yells. "You trying to make me hurl?"
HUSBAND, overhearing and entering the dining room: "Don't yell at your Mother."
ME: "Want a Pepcid tablet? It's good for upset stomachs."
DAUGHTER: "No!", she's still yelling.
I get up and do the dance through the cupboards tango, looking for something that might interest her that would also be mild on her tummy.
She spies a bag of Doritos, grabs it; opens the refrigerator and retrieves a 2 liter Diet Pepsi and disappears into her bedroom.
Where, I might add, it will go unnoticed if she hurls.

* Anne, previously from Fishbucket, is back online with her usual style and wit with Antiquainted. Stop by and give her some love.
* "I Chain Scarf Brownies In The Dark", "Took My Brother To The Prom", "Emotionally Unavailable Men Rock" -- Neuroses T-Shirt Designs.
* Nice artwork - Murals on buildings. See the before and after.
It's always darkest before the dawn. so if you're going to swipe your neighbor's newspaper, you better get going.
