My mom cracked me up today. We’re emailing.
Mom:
AUNT JESSICA INVITE YOU AND [Mr. W] OVER FOR NEW YEAR DINNER ON SUNDAY NIGHT AT 6:30 PM, DIANA AND JENNIFER ALSO BRINGING THEIR’S BOY FRIEND OVER. OH, YOU ARE GOING TO WEDDING, RIGHT?
(I don’t know why both my parents want to write in all caps. It’s like I’m 6 again and always being yelled at.)
Me:
no, no wedding. I don’t know the people getting married. We’re free Sunday
night, we just have brunch with the Northern California friends on Sunday in
the day.
Mom:
OH, BOY! YOU ARE GOING TO GAIN WEIGHT! WHY DON’T YOU GUYS COME OVER TO HELP US MOVE FUNITURE AND CLEAN UP ON WEEKEND!
(Their home remodeling is due to be done by Chinese New Year this weekend, and after that will be the big cleanup and furniture moving.)
Me:
we’d already planned on doing that. And I’m working out again. I don’t care if I’m still sick, I gained weight in the last 2 weeks of not working out!
Mom:
DRINK SUGAR FREE ORANGE JUICE, PLEASE!
Happy New Years! Have a great time! How cool, Bowers is opening their Shanghai exhibit on New Years! Oh, I went to the preview last night and it was groovy. It’s on display on the new wing of the museum. It was SUPER cool to see people from China truly appreciate the items on display. There was one gentleman looking at a carved duck and the look of appreciation was indescribable. It doesn’t have as much items as the Egyptian one, but still has cool stuff. I would recommend going with a guided tour, if possible.
I didn’t know there was sugar-free OJ
That’s cool! I’ll mention it to my ‘rents.
I didn’t know that about OJ either cuz I don’t drink OJ. Which makes my mom’s comment even funnier. Like all I have to do is drink sugar-free OJ and my weight woes are over.
i didn’t know there was such a thing as “sugar free orange juice.”
I don’t think there is sugar free orange juice… there *is* sugar free Tang though. (I never liked that stuff). Oranges have natural fructose in them… so I’m not sure there will ever be sugar free orange juice. Maybe your mom saw “pulp free” and got confused.
Now you guys are making me wonder about the sugar free OJ. Maybe I’ll make my mom produce it. It’s probably no-sugar-added OJ, or pulp-free like Jordan said.
Since everyone has the day off today, I had to find something to keep me busy @ work and decided to search for sugar-free orange juice on the web… and there really is a sugar-free OJ. Who what of known??? There is even test being down w/ creatine & sugar-free OJ. I could n’t continue reading the article because there was a photo of someone being injected w/ that stuff and EWWW! I dislike needles… so I could read on and had to close the page.
