I Get Absolutely No Respect, Not Even From. . .

[TipoConSuerte]

OK, this is not a joke, but it's funny, true and just happened to me the other day. . .

For years, my mother and I have had a long standing tradition. On X-mas day we simply call each other to wish ourselves cheer and joy, and that's as far as it goes. We don't send each other gifts or x-mas cards. However, to my surprise, this year I received a card from mom.

As soon as I opened the envelope and verified that it was not sent to me by mistake, I called mom and asked why had she done this. I then apologized for not having sent her one. She says to me. . ."no nene, no te apures. Es que compre un paquetito de tarjetas y sobro una. Te la mande porque no sabia que mas hacer con ella."

In the eternal words of Rodney Dangerfield, "I get no respect," not even from my own mother!
