The Art of Being Gracious
Original post by carolinebr
C = me
A = my mom
Sunday - 2pm
C - Hi Mom
A - Hi. I got the flowers, thank you.
C - Oh you’re welcome! Its plants, right? I asked for plants in a little basket for your front step, like last year.
A - Uh, not likely dear. They are not like last year
C - What do you mean?
A - next time, call White Iris. 631-321-4747. I hope you didn’t pay a lot for these. They’re just awful.
C - Oh….
Long pause
A - Well you wouldn’t want me to NOT tell you, would you?
C - Well I’m sorry you’re disappointed.
A - Well I don’t know WHY you would order from anyone other than White Iris. You KNOW they do the best flowers. Jim is the BEST! He did the flowers for your wedding! I mean, this, this was just a waste of money. These… I can’t put these on my front step. The neighbors will laugh at me!
C - Ok, well…. Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to send ugly flowers mom.
A - 631-321-4747. It spells IRIS, You can forget it. 321 IRIS.

Re: The Art of Being Gracious
at my fuucking wits end. My mother called 17 minutes ago & has been talking about my sister & her kids since I picked up.
Um, I do not speak to my sister. I am not interested in her or her problems. She is not my problem any more. I cut her off a year ago. But my mother just goes ON & ON & ON & ON.

f&cking 37 minutes now.
STILL TALKING ABOUT MY SISTER! And saying 'I just feel so BAD for her' over & over again.
I wish we had an icon of a noose so I could hang myself.
