My mother is SOOOO embarrassing
You know what she did today?
I was published in the highest profile publication to date, kind of a big deal to my parents, myself as well I must admit.

So, mom, takes the copy in to the office that a good fellow reporter friend of mine works to show her.

She called me and said, "Awwwww guess what your Mommy did?"

Gad, I was blushing over the phone.

My worry is; who else did she bring them to?

I bet Edward R. Murrow never had to deal with this, oye.

2. Congrats!
The alternative to her being proud of you is..........

It is hard to tamper a mother's pride.

4. As embarrassed as I was when my friend said "don't give her shit"
I said, "for that?! I'd go straight to hell."
