mom: Delta is the only airline that flys non stop into Atlanta

Me: fine, we'll fly Delta

insert 2 more hours of frustration over flights, seat arrangements, systems not working, numerous frustrated arguments, mother falling, step father telling mother to get off the phone, me becoming more and more agitated because fares are going to change tonight, mother saying she'll call back. Mother calls back, has booked her fare and tells me to go ahead and do it as well. MY fare has increased by 100 dollars. Mother tells me to start from the beginning because it just CAN'T be right. Me starting over, it really IS correct. Fight ensues. Mother screaming at me, me screaming at mother to stop screaming at me. Mother insists on paying the amount that has increased (which of course I accept because it's HER fault). Mother then insists that the entire thing is MY fault. Who knows why. Especially since I've been trying to get her to do this for two months and it's now the end of the line (which she admitted at the beginning of the hellish call but can't seem to keep sight of).

Oh yes and during this my mother says and I quote "I will call you back, I need to pour a very large glass of wine". I have NO wine and this makes me even more bitter.

Flight booked.

and this is just the Readers Digest version

FUCK.

That is all.

Oh yes and did I mention that there was NO non stop flight on Delta?

Yeah, uh huh, that's right.

Yeah. So. Uh.
If I was your hair dryer?
I would have attempted to put you out of your misery too.
Just saying.
