A story
The scene of a few nights ago:
INT EVENING I walk into the kitchen for assistance in putting on a necklace, the assister, no doubt surprised by my use of jewelry, comments suspiciously:
Assister: Where are you going?
Me: Out.
Assister: With who?
Darnit, I think, she's going to make me say it.
Me: With such and such person to such and such place
The Assister beams.
Assister: really?
Me: yes.
Said assiter is staring at me. No, not at me anymore, now she is staring at my attire. I tense, ready to spring.
Me: What?
Assister: Well, you aren't going to wear that?
Me: Why not?
I begin to hedge away slowly.
Assister: Atleast, not that shirt. Do you have something less wrinkled?
Me: I like this shirt
With a start, I turn and sprint down the hallway, towards my bedroom. but she is quick. Her yelling comes from just behind me in the hall.
Assister: It doesn't do anything for you!
I silence her with a glance.
Assister: Well atleast take your hair down.
Assister is now sweeping through my closest, muttering "no" "maybe" "too old" as I grab my coat to go.
Her voice carries after me as I leave the room.
Assister: You'll need perfume!
I pause in the kitchen to arrange my purse. I am already pulling my lip gloss out of my purse when she says,
Assister: Do you have lipstick?
I hold up the gloss to show her.
Assister: I have lipstick with color in it...
She trails off at my glare. I pause to apply the fruity concotion. When I look up I notice the Assiter is now observing my collar bones. I beeline it for the door.
Assister: Honey I think we need to take you in...get those moles removed.
Me: Bye Mom!
I shut the door. Seconds later, the door opens after me.
Mom: Bye honey, remember you have everything he wants!

This is way funny.
That is a really good story. You should be a writer.
That sounds familiar
I think I know who the "Assister" is! We've all been there, haven't we with said assister eyeballing us in a I-feel-violated kind of way! I hope it was fun with such and such a person!
This is absolutely adorable.
This was hilarious! I'm sorry...you must hate me...sorry for "violating" you...Mom's are so annoying. Love you! Mom
