Here’s a conversation I had with my mother the other day. To prove that “Positive Reinforcement” is not in her vocabulary.
Me: You know these jeans I’m wearing?
Mom: Yeah?
Me: Two months ago they were too small to fit, now they do.
*pause*
Now… this is were a normal, relatively polite person would say something like “Oh, you must’ve lost weight then.” But not my mom…
*unpause*
Mom: Yeah, that’s probably because they don’t get dried in the dryer anymore, just hung out to dry, that’s probably why they fit ya now.
