aithne | this morning's quote

"Mom called a few hours later, and after enraging me on the subject of my wedding, started speculating on what was going on in my sister’s mind. I was still frothing over her earlier remarks on the wedding-related front, but prudence kicked in right before I snapped, "Nothing, but then, she takes after your side of the family." I cut the conversation short and hung up, instead. Talking to my Mom on the telephone is growing increasingly difficult. It’s like being nibbled to death by the tiny Ducks of Reproach. Eventually, even an insane person will snap."
