Ten Things I Love About Mom:
10. She's forged in steel. No matter how tough the situation, she handles it with grace and placidity. I am amazed by that because my modus operandi is to fall to pieces.
9. She's beautiful. She looks at least ten years younger than she really is and when she gets dressed up, she looks twenty years younger. It's amazing and I pray feverishly that I have inherited those genes.
8. She's an amazing cook. Every time I visited home from college, she would make potato and pea curry because she knew it was my favorite. I never even had to ask. I tried making potato and pea curry by myself and even though I followed the recipe exactly, it came out dry and crap-tasting. Damn.
7. She understands the importance of gossiping and being unquestionably judgmental. There is nothing better in this world than getting together with my mom and sister and talking about people.
6. She's really, really funny in a very dry way.
5. She's immensely intelligent. She speaks about four different languages, has a degree in accounting and knows exactly how to shut up her mouthy daughters and husband.
4. Paps would be useless without her. Now, I love him and all, but if she ever left him -- even for a day -- she'd come home to a smoldering pile of ashes and a rather forlorn man wearing clashing clothes and complaining of blinding hunger.
3. She doesn't put up with anyone's crap -- least of all, mine or Paps'.
2. Biggest work ethic I've ever seen. Mom puts Ryan Seacrest to shame.
1. She's my Mom. She had a hand into bringing me into this world, she played noughts-and-crosses with me when I was a kid, she makes laugh hysterically even when she's insulting me and she's the glue that holds our family together. We're a band of buggered without her.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom! I love you!
P.S. -- I didn't take Paps' copy of Angels and Demons. You know what I think happened? I think he left it at work and then, lost it. Now, he's looking for a convinient scapegoat and you know what? It's not going to be me! Besides, I offered to buy him a copy of the stupid book well before he started making these wild accusations!
