crap

i'm mutating into the type of person i've always feared becoming... my mother.
i've noticed that i start up conversations with random strangers in grocery store lines, at lagoon, in clothing stores...
then the spirit of my mother exits my body and i'm stuck making small talk to somebody who i don't really care about but who it turns out is very oppinionated about the california governer situation, or the price of eggs, or their junior high teacher, and so i nod politely and will the line to move faster.
which i think might mean that i'm also mutating into the only other type of person i've always feared becoming... my father.
