(As Dave and I sat with my mom in her living room, my dad in the next room.)
Dad: I've been telling your mom to stop buying frozen stuff until she knows what's in the freezer.
Dave: I've been telling Emily that for months!
Me (to my mom): He doesn't know that I keep a mental tab of what's in there.
My Mom: I need a new mental tab.
*I think my siblings will especially appreciate that exchange. For me, it brings back the memory of when she went to a health food store to buy some herbs to help her memory, and when she walked through the doors she stopped and said, "What am I here for?"

Actually this makes me feel a little better for the following reasons:
1. I don't think my memory is any worse than it was then.
2. I remember that occasion well. (I was looking for Ginko Biloba.)
I had a really funny comment, but suddenly, I've forgotten what it was.
I think I love your mom.
That's hilarious. Do they sell mental tabs at Great Harvest? I'll have to check into that...
that is a funny story. i think my fav part is that they are having this convo from different rooms!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one. . .
i need 10 new mental tabs. :)
Nick says the same thing about our frozen foods & freezer! And I too have a mental tab that Nick doesn't realize. It just bugs him that he doesn't know what's in there.
I do that stuff all.the.time. someday my kids are going to have that same story!
I think I would like your mom too!
I have a friend who keeps a typed list of what's in her freezer. Now, that is beyond organized!
i love your mama, she is so sweet.
