I think many of us worry about the day we become our mothers.
Initially, you find yourself mouthing the same phrases:
Because I say so, that's why.
If everyone else....
I don't care if your friends' parents said it was OK..
And so forth.
Then, we begin to worry we share the same prejudices:
How could anyone wear that outfit?
Haven't they ever heard of proofreading?
And so forth.
Then, as we grow older, we finally realize it is OK to be curmudgeonly.
Actually, it's FUN.
But only as long as we don't actually sound just like our Mother.
So, here goes -- a sharing of rants and raves -- from the computer of a woman who's old enough to know better, but really doesn't care.
