So much for yesterday’s comments where people were insisting that the opening line would lead to a more deep, profound and meaningful essay. Looks like with Luann what you see is all you get. She’s as deep as a puddle, concerned only with making her mom look bad to strangers.
I see that Luann has managed to include something about psychology in her essay. Tip o’ the hat to @howtheduck (as well as to Luann) for predicting Nancy’s denial.
Now that audio clip was mean, Lu. I was hoping you’d follow that opening line with an essay of explanation, “In this economic downturn, my loving, resourceful mother wanted to provide more for her family….”
It’s confirmed, Luann thought she was going to college but registered for psychology in grade school…
Or… It’s like Milgram’s experiment. Luann is actually the subject to be studied by the real students in the class on “intellectual and maturity development blocks with some adults. Are they caused by genetic, social or familial dispositions? Or is there a deeper more mysterious reason like being written that way by some higher power?”
What is it with women denying that they snore?!? Does snoring violate some ‘Dainty Clause’ in a woman’s contract?!? Like, “Jebus! I can’t admit that I snore! I’ll get fined by the Couth Squad for being uncouth!” My kid used to say to my wife, “Mom, you snore 10 times worse than Dad does!” and yet she still refused to believe it.
It’s time for Nancy to see a doctor. Sometimes snoring is a sign of breathing problems. Luann may have been rude. But I love how she’s resourcefulness♡.
A little hard from Luann, especially the audio part. That said I suspect many commentors had other “competitive moments” with their parent(s) that would compare for either “one-upping” or embarrassing their parent; I’ll admit I did if you’ll admit you did;-)
OK Luann, at first it was just a little funny, but this is just cruel. So your mom, who’s been working all day, on her feet, decides to stay up with you instead of going straight to bed (so she can start her day all over again) and you . . . you . . . decide to make fun of her? You’re severely lacking in the maturity and empathy department, young lady.
You know, this brings back a bad memory. When I was about 15, my mom made a tape recording of me snoring on the couch. Played if for me, as well as the rest of the family when I woke up as a “joke”. I was embarrassed, angry, and everything else you can imagine. It wasn’t funny to me, and here I am, 50 years later, still simmering about it.
How can ANYONE tell when they are snoring – while they are ASLEEP ??!!
Wellll … My mother (rest her heart) could tell … she said, on one night, she WOKE herself up … Because of the snoring she was doing, woke HER up … and she could hear the reverb echo in the room! … I believe her! (Miss ya’ Mom!) :)
For years I told my wife she snores but she never believed me! So, I brought home a hand recorder (30 years ago) and recorded her. I played it for her and she accused me of faking it by using a sound effect from the radio station I worked at! LOL She never believed that she snored.

It’s hereditary, Luann. When you are 47, you will be snoring louder than your mom, and your children will be making fun of you.
