The other night, I was talking to my mom. Simple, right? Except that I know she wasn't paying attention to a darned thing I was saying. I had a question to ask her and I had to say, "I have a question to ask you" four or five times before she finally started talking to me again...and by then, I pretty much gave up.
She's not the only one who does this. I've talked to people who are more interested in what's on TV than in actually carrying on a conversation. But it bugs me the worst when she does it. A lot of our conversations have gone that way lately and it makes me wonder if she realizes just how rude it is to completely ignore one half of a two-person conversation.
So the next time I talk to her (which will be on her nickel, not mine) I think I'll tell her I've been kidnapped by space aliens and am pregnant with triplets. Just to see if she's paying attention. ;-)

- Wife, mom of a preemie, follower of the old ways, lover of anything Irish or Celtic, history buff, trivia nut, Star Trek and Ren Faire geek and costuming fiend. Offer me coffee or chocolate and world peace is assured. Or at least I'll try really hard. :) I also believe in deleting spam. So, to the person or persons who keep leaving me comments in Chinese (along with links to what I can clearly tell are Chinese porn sites) stop it. It's bad karma, to say nothing of being really, really rude.
