mommy dearest

As if The Weakest Link Poop for Brains Prettyboys wasn't enough stupidity for one day, my mom comes home from work and exposes me to a little stupidity. Yes, my mother.

Well, since I have gone off to school we have gotten several new gadgets around the house. Some of them, I am not really familiar with. However, my mom has taken a fond liking to one of these gadgets. The new telephone to be exact. It has all of these features that I don't really know how to work (so I guess I am a dumb person for that), but most of the features appear to be pretty useless to me. One of which, is the speaker phone option... on the cordless receiver.

Now, I suppose that this would be useful if you had to like... go into a basment where there wasn't a phone, and you wanted to dig through some old boxes while you were talking to your grandmother who was asking you to look for something she lost down there years ago. I imagine one would take the cordless phone down to the basement with them, set it on a table or something, and proceed to rummage through boxes while you listen to Granny describe her pink polka dotted garter. Yes... that is legit.

But my mom walks around the house with the cordless phone up to her ear... WITH the speaker option on, so everyone in the house can hear the conversation she is having. Let me restate that. SHE HOLDS THE PHONE UP TO HER EAR LIKE A PERSON WOULD NORMALLY USE THE PHONE, BUT SHE TALKS WITH THE SPEAKER OPTION ON, SO EVERYTHING THE PERSON ON THE OTHER LINE IS SAYING CAN BE HEARD BY EVERYONE WITHIN EARSHOT OF MY MOM. FAILURE.

My mother... is a Dumb Person.

NOTE: I did bring to my mother's attention the absurdity of her actions. Her response was, "I like it this way." There is no sympathy for those who simply wish to wallow in their stupidity.
