Oh, Give Me A Break

I know that I'm a good counsellor-type person.  I'm rather proud of that fact, really.  But the absolute last person I expect to call me up, telling me that she's depressed and has had too much to drink and needs someone to talk to...

...is my mom.

Man, talk about a phone call I didn't need.  Though, there was something fairly satisfying about telling her "You need to just suck it up and deal, Mom."
