"Rich" is a subjective term, homegirl. However, let's just say ...
she could afford it if she so chose.
Oh, and also, there are no good schools locally ... well, except for the one I've already been kicked out of.

I don't understand...
a car to drive from Philly to NY every day???
Unless you are rich (i.e. your mom is rich) that is an unreasonable request. It would make more sense if your mom and you stayed in a hotel during the week, or you just went to school locally.

Unfortunately, Fiona, at this point, I'm not 100% sure either of those events will ever occur.

I appreciate you saying that, Troosha.
And, I suppose such generational conflicts
are quite common.

Well, my mother doesn't have to worry about me having children, Frankenkitty ...
At least, not intentionally.

The problem, Ann, is that I hate driving into the city ...
I fear I'll get confused and end up in
Brooklyn, or something. Kinda like in "Bonfire of the Vanities"!

Mothers:
M Money funny
O Obstinate
T Trying
H Hungry for our love (but go about it the wrong way)
E Exasperating

As you can tell I have a challenging relationship with my mother as well.
Glad you’re feeling better Mademoiselle – I’ve missed your wit.

That's funny about the Gibbons! LOL
Sorry you're having such a time with your mother. My mother couldn't wait for me and my siblings to move out. Unfortunately for her, we all moved back, and with babies. I guess it's some sort of cyclical punishment system built into the universe. At least she only had 3 kids. Her mother had 7. Good luck and take care

Well said, fourcats ... I think.
They just mowed the lawns around here, and cut grass always makes my head hurt.

well thank goodness! so good to know you clearly have your priorities in
order, phew!
i'm surprised there even was an argument about the private car. how can your mother not understand what drives you? it's a standard solution; putting the brakes to an unpleasant situation - your aunt giving you the gears. perhaps a shift in her thinking is required. by now, her responses to you should be automatic - "yes, dear". otherwise, it's all just tiresome and exhausting.

it's really small (the recorder).
I think I told you before that I've always wanted to be an undercover, like those people working for "Cheaters" (the tv show.)

Actually, I've never met anyone with your name, either.

Not true.
I simply set the recorder on the table, and they recorded themselves (even though they weren't aware of it.)
This one chic said: "Oh~~ I love Chanel."
Other chic: "Me too... but I don't have any."

I actually have a post coming up that is a direct transcript of a conversation between Manon and I.
It's really idiotic.
Well, her part is, anyway.
My part is quite brilliant, actually.

Oh, yeah, she's certainly no Catherine Keener.
Did you know that I know someone who (supposedly) looks just like a young Marcello Mastrionni?

Good morning, bandana.
Oh, I saw "Infamous". It's terrible.
And Toby Jones is creepy. Although, he really does bear a strong resemblance to the real Capote.

One of your "children" was eaten by another?
Just a guess as to the death in your family... perhaps I should not make light of it, but something tells me this is along the lines of your deathly ill experiences...
