Accumulation

I'm confused. Is it Jesus who ends pain or is it the magnets? Copper is 'soothing'? And magnets are penetrating. Yeah. My whole life is an 'end your pain' philosophy. Yesterday I took my mother shopping. At the grocery, she spotted "mom approved" healthy oatmeal on sale. 5 fancy ass packets for 50 cents. She said it was for Lissa. I usually keep my mouth shut, no matter what she says, but, yesterday my pain threshold was low and in my confusion, I said, "Lissa doesn't like apple. She likes maple from the Dollar Store. It's 10 packs for a buck."

My mother thought about that and threw two more boxes of Fancy Ass in her cart. She said, "At this price, she'll learn to love it." She gave me a sly shit eating grin, clearly designed to show me who the dumb ass was. Yeah, ma, you outsmarted the store, me, Lissa and the 'approved moms.'

Today she's mad because Lissa won't eat it. ~Shrugs~ Lissa thinks the lunchroom ladies are trying to poison her. She says she knows it's true because she squeezed a half an orange over her desk and licked up the juice and it tasted 'funny.' I told her to stop licking desks. She says the lunchroom ladies still give her dirty looks. Does that sound like a kid who wouldn't be suspicious of dehydrated apple chunks?

Lis just defiantly told me she's going to eat nothing but grapes all day. I said, I don't care. I might stop after work and buy a hair net though, just to freak her out.
