Homecoming

Mom and I were returning from lunch one afternoon while I was home for a visit.  As we passed a gentleman meandering down the middle of the road, I sighed and rolled my eyes.

Me:  See?  This is why I hate coming home.
Mom:  Elizabeth Ann, you shouldn't shouldn't say things like that!  This is where you are from.
Me:  I know, and apparently, it is full of toothless losers who get drunk at noon and walk down the middle of the street.
Mom:  (indignant and quite serious)  Maybe he can't afford dental care!  You don't know!
Me:  (laughing so hard I cried)
Mom:  What are you laughing at?!
Me:  You have to know.
Mom:  What?!
Me:  (shaking my head)  I love you, Mom.
