Doesn't fall far from the tree. Apparently shadiness is in my DNA. It runs in the family.
I was talking to my mom this week when she told me she was thinking about changing jobs. She works as a nurse in Labor & Delivery. She usually works the overnight shift, and she gets tired of it. So I was expecting to hear her say she was thinking about leaving the hospital to work at a clinic. I was wrong. My mom looks at me with a completely straight face and says...
"I think I'm going to start a phone sex company."
Me: "Excuse me?"
Mom: "Yeah. I'm already used to working nights and I figure it would be really easy. I've already thought of a name for the company: Night Nurses."
Me: *absolute and utter silence*
Mom: "I figure all I have to do is say things like 'Oh Baby' and ask questions."
Me: "Ask questions?"
Mom: "Yeah. Like 'do you know what I'm touching right now?' Things like that."
Me: "Please don't ever mention this conversation again. I feel sick to my stomach."
Of course, my mom was just joking. I think.

Oh. My. Mommy, make the naughty nurse stop! Beyond shady.
Night Nurses... I have to give it to your mom, that is clever. Not that I am condoning the idea at all... just giving kudos for the creative name.
Laurie, I think there's probably a support group for this.
It's called the DWMDOJ.
"Daughters Whose Mothers Desire Obscene Jobs"
I'm not exactly sure what to say...in my former life, I was a night nurse.
Ok, you win! :)
Hmmm . . . a sweet lady that I know started making off-the-wall statements like that many years ago. Turned out her bipolar disorder was responsible. Keep a close eye on Mom! ;)
That's just wrong.
