I kinda plead the fifth.

So, I know it was terrible of me, but I made delicious cookies, and my broken toe was hurting, so instead of washing the dishes from them, I did the stupid thing and sat on the couch to watch At World's End on my ipod. Before I knew it, hours had passed. We had eaten dinner, gone shopping, and checked our emails. So, after dinner, my mother looks in the sink and smartly says, "Aimee did you make cookies?" If I say no, she will tease me and say that I lied to her, because both of us know she knows the truth. If I say yes, my headphones blaring with Bon Jovi will be drowned out by the consistent tone of my mothers love/disapproving voice of reason telling me the reasons I should obey her and keep my promise to clean the dishes after I make cookies. I said, "I kinda plead the fifth." She didnt say anything back, but there was a smile on her face for a full 5 minutes.
So, this morning, I didnt have my daily dose of chocolate and I was mad at her (I dont really remember why), and as a result, she was driving me crazy. I think I was actually just being obstinent and then she got mad at me because I was being so horrible to her, so she said not to talk so rude to her, and I said, "fine! I'll try not to talk to you!" If you remember doing that to your mom, you will probably also remember how incredibly hard it is. The last time I said that, my quiet mouth lasted for about 20 minutes, then went away as I got hungry. So, I decided, I am going to prove to her that it is possible, not just something every single teenager in the world has probably said to one or both of their parents. So, I when I got home from biology class, I took care of my language barrier by using sign language which she taught me alot of, but now remember only two words of. (Yes, and I-love-you.) Well, she asked me to get the laundry out of the dryer. They wer wet,so I told her in a round about way, and she gave me quarters for the machine. I came back to let her know that I did as instructed and she tried to say thank you, but instead said a combination of good and introduce. I tried to let her know what she was trying to say and what she really said and I ended up pretending I was an Indian, bowing in "thanks and prayer" and eventually let her know that she was probalby trying to say thank you and I showed her how to do it. We ended up laughing so much, we got back on talking terms in a matter of hours. I think we would have been on talking terms a couple seconds after I got home, but I really wanted to prove that communication is possible when you arent on talking terms.
