Insightful conversations with Mom #1: The Nativity
I had the pleasure of having this tragically annoying, albeit funny conversation with my mom this morning, which I am, against my better judgment, reproducing here in verbatim so you, my readers could have a few cheap laughs at her expense. Also, I am a terrible son and I’m probably going to hell.
My Mom: “I need to ask you something, my church group needs to come up with a presentation for Christmas. I’m thinking of a short play. What do you call that Jesus, Mary and Joseph thing? You know, the one where the three kings visit them in a manger to offer baby Jesus gifts?”
Me: “The Nativity of Jesus?”
My Mom: “No, I’m sure it’s called something else. Your Tita Vina mentioned it earlier.”
Me: “Are you sure it’s not the Nativity of Jesus? I’m pretty sure that’s what it’s called.”
My Mom: “No, it sounds a little more formal than that. It’s on the tip of my tongue…What was it again?”
Me: [10 seconds of silence] “Jesus’ Nativity?”
My Mom: “YES! That’s it!”
Me: [headpalm]
I love my mom.
Awww. That was cute.
Please do not talk about my mom like that
RAWRRR! Haha…
Err. Are you sure it was not the Nativity of Jesus? That did some more formal. LOL
