Selective hearing...
2006-01-05 - 11:56 p.m.

I just found out the 5 words I never want to hear my mom say (again).

It began as a talk as I went into the kitchen for leftover pizza. She asks me out of nowhere if I knew anything about the first case of aids, and if I knew the origin. I'm far from a biologist, or a disease-ologist, or whatever. So I ask if it came from Paris Hilton. She doesn't think it did. She then tells me that her friend thinks it's from men having sex with monkeys.

It isn't until I hear the word's "men having sex with monkeys" that I realize all the times that I've blocked out my mom's voice, I should have saved at least one of those times for an emergency like this.
