It seems like my mother is coming to terms with the "free hotel" theory. She was on the phone with her friend tonight & found out that the friend bought a new bathing suit. She's crushed that friend isn't "coming to see her" as claimed (my reply was, "I don't think people would want to 'come see you' quite as much if you lived in FARGO rather than on the beachy outskirts of Orlando.")
meanwhile, i fucking flipped my lid when my mom almost bought said friend the latest book in that "left behind" series that's so popular with the fundies these days. "Don't you put that in my cart. I don't want to be seen purchasing that hatemongering crap. Carry it yourself or hide it somewhere." (cos see, those Left Behind dudes are all about the negativity when it comes to portraying Jews, Muslims, homosexuals, etc.) It just gets funner and funner. The poor 9-yr-old kid coming to see us is one of those who isn't allowed contact with anything related to Harry Potter. Yech.
