Today, my mother called me downstairs to give me what I assumed was going to be "The Talk" (About four years too late).

Negging

Let down

Logical fallacy

Protective

Today, I walked in on my mom drenched in tears, barely able to speak. I ran to get her some tissues and a nice cup of tea to calm her down. After a few minutes of sitting in silence, I asked her if she wanted to talk about what happened. She watched an episode of Gossip Girl. FML
