Primo: You put her on the spot. What was she supposed to
say?
Me: Oh puh-leeze. It is not putting someone on the spot to
say that her son is lucky to be with me. She did not have to make a list of all
my many wonderful qualities. All she had to do was say, “Yes! He is lucky to have
you!”
Primo: You’re right, but if you expect to get by with the bare
minimum with them, just doing what needs to be done on the outside, like
cleaning the fridge, helping prepare meals and do dishes, you cannot expect my
mom mother to fake enthusiasm with you.
Me: Really? Not only am I totally, correctly polite to them,
I clean the mold and mildew out of their refrigerator – I clean their fridge,
period. She can’t even agree with me on one little thing? I think she could
fake enthusiasm just for that.
Primo: I think my mother has no idea anymore about how to
feel enthusiastic about anything.
Me: Good point.
