Remember how on Freaks and Geeks Mr. Weir would tell his kids that the outcome for people that do all sorts of rebellious things is death? And how we thought it was funny? And how we laughed and then mourned the show's early demise?
It's not so funny, though, when you discover that your mother is actually Mr. Weir.
On the phone with my mother today...
Mother: ... and be safe, and don't go to any bars.
Moi: Ok.
Mother: Did you hear about that girl that went to the bar? She died. Somebody killed her.
Moi: I'm sure she wasn't killed because she went into a bar.
Mother: Yes, she was. She went into the bar and was killed. She was coming out of the bar all by herself at 4am and someone killed her.
Moi: Well, maybe the fact that she was alone in a bar at 4am had something to do with it. And not just because she went into a bar.
Mother: Do not go into bars. They're not good places. I'm serious. That girl just got killed.
She's serious, y'all. Don't even think about going into bars. You just might die.

Miss Lee,
The banana bread you made when I last visisted have inspired me to bake. So one month later, I finally did it. I BAKED. It went well, but i decided to throw some nutmeg into the batter. I should of measured, but instead I sprinkled. Or dumped. The result? Nutmeg Banana Bread. More Nutmeg than Bananers. You must come taste.
