Smart Dumb People

Week 33

Despite her shortcomings I have never thought of my mother as dumb. I have heard her discuss the debt ceiling, give (sometimes unsolicited) good advice and winning 99.9% of the arguments she has had with my dad. She also has a law degree, and those aren't easy to get. This is why it surprises me when she goes ahead and does the dumbest s**t. Today she flooded her office's one shared bathroom by repeatedly pulling on the little lever until water spilled everywhere and out into the hallway. This really nice dude, Reid, helped her clean up the mess.I hope she doesn't give me away to him as a thank you, because he's gay and she owes him big time.
