Mother to Daughter

So as I grow into womanhood, whatever that is, I'm slowly figuring things out while calling mom for advice from which toilet paper is better to which shelf should the food items go in.

I finally got my own place, with much ado from family members, but its something I had to do and mom being the coolest person in the world, understood. Garette being the kind, caring manly man he is, helped me out tremendously and of course now is always there. So what is to follow... The mother to daughter talk.... When I had my period, there was less talk involved...

Mom: You got your period, stay away from boys
Me: ???

...and that was that. This talk was a little more involved.

Mom: How many times are you showering a day? What are you wearing to bed? Are you cooking for him? You need to wash this every 3 days, replace this every week

etc etc etc...
WTF?!? This is NOT the mother I knew that chased away potential boyfriends by looking at them sideways, no this was a woman in love with Garette and as she said "Do not let this one get away".

Astonishment being my current look she goes on to say how accepted he is in the family... WHOA

Mom: So have you guys talked about marriage....

Conversation over.
