Me: I got my copy of the book that Meaghan has been working on yesterday.
Mom: Where can I buy a copy?
Me: They’re selling it online…comingandcrying.com
Mom: Whatandcrying.com?
Me: Coming. And. Crying. Dot. Com
Mom: Huh?
Me: COMING.
Mom: Running?
Me: Um. Haven’t we been over this? Didn’t you get that article that I sent you about the project? The one that was in New York Mag?
Mom: No. You probably didn’t send it.
Me: Yes. I sent it. I thought you just never acknowledged it because the book is about sex, and I assumed that you were being a prude.
Mom: LINDSAY, I AM A GROWN WOMAN. WHERE CAN I BUY THE BOOK.
Me: Just so we’re clear, it’s about sex.
Mom: Yes, I get it. I just won’t give it to my friends as a Christmas gift, ok?
Me: Ok.
