Mom's still in shock about it

[hollybrooke]

So Mom wakes up this morning, and she's all, ".........Who died yesterday?"


I'm all, "Uh...besides Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson?"


Mom's like, "Damn...I thought it was just a terrible nightmare. He really is gone, isn't he?"

Yeah, Mom, I'm still pretty shaken up about it, too. :(

Aw :(

I called my mother Thursday night to talk about other stuff, and in the way our conversations go, I had started to get perturbed and short with her. She asked me something along the lines of "Anything else exciting going on?" and I said, "No, just that and the dead people." She had been in bed sick all day and had no idea that either Farrah or Michael had died. She didn't have any reaction to that news beyond shock (not that I expected her too--I grew up in a white, southern, grand-parent headed family).

Well, my mom grew up listening to the Jackson 5 (also considering they're from the Region, so they were BIG news around here back in the 70s; local boys got majorly famous) and she was in her early 20s raising me in the 80s. So yeah, she's just as shocked as I am.

Yeah, I believe you met me through Jem.
