Top 5 Ways I've Become My Mother
Thursday, January 27, 2011 at 3:01PM | by Katy I'd like to kick off a new section of our site called "Top 5." It's like a "Top 10" list but geared more toward those with a lesser attention span. Not that I'm related to any people who might fall into that category...
And speaking of relatives, I thought it would be fun to start off this new series by doing what I do best: making fun of my mother.
So, without further adieu, here are the Top 5 Ways I've Become My Mother:
- When we go out to eat, I constantly count how many people (who arrived after us) were seated and/or received their meals before us. "Excuse me? We've been here six minutes longer than that table of four, and they already received their appetizers. May I please speak to your manager?"
- I find myself saying things like, "I want you to WANT to clean the kitchen!"
- I start many a sentence this way: "I don't want to tell you what to do, but..." And then I proceed to tell that person what to do.
- I think my therapists are crazier than me.
- Sometimes I share soooooo much information that I can actually hear my dad's eyes rolling back in his head.
*Stay tuned the next few months as we introduce more fun site features ("Reader of the Month," travel blog entries, and more!) as well as a graphic overhaul. Also, I have some exciting news to share in the month of February! (No, mom. I'm not pregnant.)

Katy,
I am so glad to see my parenting skills are finally rubbing off on you! I think you are safe until you hear yourself saying, "You do what you think is right"!!!
Love you,
Mama
