Maybe I Should Grow My Own Vegetables

I mentioned to my mom the other day that I've been eating a lot more vegetables and a lot less meat since I started at my new company. She's always been pro vegetable and anti-lots-of-meat, so I figured she'd be pleased.

"Aiya!" she exclaimed, "Pesticides!" She then launched into 10 minutes of lecture about the dangers of pesticides.

Finally, I interrupted.

"Would you rather I switch back to eating lots of meat?"
"No, too much meat is bad for you."
"Would you rather I eat only organic vegetables?"
"No, that's too expensive."
"So what do you want me to do?"
"The world is so pitiful!"

So now, instead of worrying about me eating too much meat, she worries about me eating too much broccoli.

That's mom for ya.
