Motherly Love?

It's always nice when a mother refers to her daughter as "that"

That's exactly what this woman did. She was checking in with her daughter, who was probably around 5 or so, and was asking if there were any other doors that had closer access to the parking lot. When I told her no, the only way in or out of the hotel was through the lobby, but I reassured her that it wasn't far, just a small walk around the corner. She responded with, "well, I know, it would just be a lot easier for me with "that" (pointing to her child) if I could just go right out to the car."

My mother has called me her fair amout on things in my life... but never "that"

Me thinks perhaps that she's the type of person THAT shouldn't have children.


*** The daughter by the way, happened to be the cutest little thing. We had like a 15 minute conversation about her cats, and how cats are her best animal. She has 3 of them, and she's going to the zoo tomorrow. ***
