As you all probably know by now, specially because I keep ranting about it, I am about to finish my Phd, so in the near future I will have to give a presentation and defend my thesis. So my mom was feeling kind of curious about the whole thing (or at least that's the excuse she used with me), my personal opinion is that she wanted some kind of reference so that in the day I finally defend she will be able to criticize me, or maybe I am just being an ass and all she wanted was to know was how to behave and what her role was (I told her she should sit and listen quietly, which only seems fair). Anyway, ignoring the why!!
So she founds out through a friend of hers that a guy is gonna be defending, so she calls up her usual accomplice (meaning my aunt) and she drags her to this Phd defense. So my mom sits down through the whole thing listening to this presentation in english about heart (that was her pretty much her full understanding of the presentation). Let's make it clear, my mom knows nothing about science and my mom's english level is about the equivalent to a 3 year old child. So the thing ends and my mom not being happy with only the presentation decides to go to the speaker and congratulate him on a wonderful presentation stating her utter interest for science...
Yes, believe it or not this is my mom!! And no, this is not April's fool lie, this is for real, people!! She is kind of weird, but the apple does not fall far from the tree, which explains my quirckiness, which I like to think is a big part of my charm =) By the way, tomorrow's post will be about me breaking hearts since 1985, so do not miss it...
