Funny. My mother laments that I don't do enough. I do get the full family illness report, as well as the state of the pets' health and behavior, but, as I don't actually see said family or pets much, that's not too objectionable.

She did throw in a new one this time: volunteerism. "Do you do any volunteer work?" (Note: Mom disapproves of UUism, and will not openly acknowledge my religion, even though she couldn't possibly be unaware of it, so I try to remember not to mention the church.) I told her that I was still doing some community theater and that sort of thing, and behold: there was disapproval, and I was admonished to get more involved in things that involved feeding people or getting them clothes.

Fun, games.

You mean you're happily unmarried, childless, AND you haven't ended world poverty?

One day, you're just going to snap and tell her all the things you DO in a given week, in excruciating detail.

That option gets more compelling every day. And it's inevitable. In fact, here's the really great part: Mom and Dad want to come visit over the summer.

Won't That Be Fun?(tm)
