"I can't believe I forgot your chicken nuggets," mom told me looking worried last night. "I also got you cheap cigarettes today and want to trade them back."
"Why?" I asked genuinely interested about the cigs.
"I believe those cheap cigarettes have cheap filters and will give you cancer sooner," mom told me.
I had to choke back a laugh. Mom was deadly serious though. Mom went and got me two cartons of expensive Doral Lights 100's.
"Your mother sure can get things complicated," dad said the other night. Yes, she can, but I love her to death.

Cigarettes with good filters, $25.00; a great mom, priceless!
i agree wit your mom on the cigs. you want a good filter!
frankly, i think the filters can kill you! they are full of chemicals. i say buy the tobacco from an organic farmer and roll your cigarettes in unbleached paper.
How about just not smoking at all? hehehehe
Your mom sure does love you. The "baby" always holds a special place in a mom's heart. Hug her extra tight next visit.
Hello,
Great blog! My name is Amber and I am an artist/creative director and advocate for eliminating stigma (in regards to mental illness). My brother is currently working towards recovery. He has paranoid schizophrenia. I am hoping to incorporate inspiring stories of recovery into a documentary I will be creating (for educational purposes). I recently created a post on my blog that will provide more details: http://gaining-insight.blogspot.com/. I will show this documentary in galleries along with my (anti-stigma) art exhibit. My mission is to reduce stigma with art and education. I hope to hear from you soon!! If you would like to learn more about my cause, please visit the links below.
