I told my mother that the car wouldn't start if she didn't buckle her seat belt.

Well, this may be typical teenage mishegoss.

I was the live in house manager in a community residence for adults with developmental disabilities.

I did learn a lot, and it fell into the category of 'an honorable job that I enjoy' but

My father was worried about me, and

He was worried that I would never go back to college, so

I told him that I was taking classes at Brooklyn College during the day, since

I worked a split shift.

That was a big fat lie, and eventually

I went back to college, and to grad school, and then

I went back to college again, and then to grad school again.

Has he caught on yet?

That was 30 years ago.

Until he died about five years ago, he had bigger fish to fry, like why his older daughter's female partner had a firmer handshake than he did, and why my sister wasn't married to the man with whom she lived. <-- joke

Well. That's... quite the turn-about. Either Mom would believe anything or I'm just coming up on a generational difference.
