Moms confused about genetics This weekend I went to the movies with my mother and husband. We like to do things with her on occasion so she doesn't get lonely in her old age. As she got older over the years she's been putting on weight slowly and while we try to help her she just does't get it. She's kind of deluded about how much food she eats so she'll say a lot of stuff like "I was doing great on my diet till etc" or "All I had to eat today was..." then lists an absurdly large amount of food. After the movie we were taking her back home for the evening and she made a comment about how good she was doing till she ordered a popcorn at the theater. I told her she just needed to do what I did, watch her eating and exercise daily. She then tells me right there, "I don't have your good genetics..." YOU'RE MY MOTHER, YOU LITERALLY GAVE ME YOUR GENETICS!  That's all, just thought a few of you would find that funny.
