Mother Son Day

Picked mom up from Lawrence Station on Sunday and took her on a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth - Costco.  Man, did she make a killing.  If she wasn't so interested in seeing Clark, we could've kept going.

Come Monday.. after the exhaustive audit... we had lunch at her favorite South Bay Restaurant - Sweet Tomatoes.  I then took her home, fixed her computer issues and sat down to watch the Two Popes with her.  Amazingly... there were Chinese subtitles.  Caught her dozing off here and there.  She admittedly popped a tylenol and the subtitles were too fast for her.  So I told her to nap when I ran some more errands for her.  Perfect timing too... cuz I made a quick stop at Pineapple King (and almost PollyAnne's... sigh....).  

Made it back to her place and finished the movie.  This time... I did the word by word translation.  And I'll pause the movie to help her catch up, especially the part where Benedict and Francis were going at it in the Sistine Chapel.  She still dozed off... but we finished the movie together, first time in who knows how long.  I then took her out to dinner at a Korean restaurant, where she polished off a bibimbap all by herself. (WOW!!) 

A very special Mother Son Day.... slightly tarnished... when she showed me an election ballot and asked why Trump isn't on there, and if she can write him in.  I tell her (through gritting teeth) that this is the Democratic Primary Ballot.  She tossed it away and that was that.

Sunavabooch.... who knew.  Hmmmm.... Sunava..... I don't think I can use that term in this instance, can I?
