(I apologize for the vagueness! But there are reasons.)



So, my mom is essentially in charge of a large organization, and the places where I and lilsis work are technically part of that organization, except we’re neither of us under her direct chain of command because that would be illegal. She’s been working for this place since before I was born, so pretty much everyone at both my place of work and lilsis’ knows who our mom is. (She’s also apparently terrifying?)

Anyway, today she was on the phone with lilsis (Mom took the afternoon off; lilsis was still at work) and Christmas present drama happened, so Mom said quite loudly into the phone, “Fuck me with a chainsaw!” and lilsis’ officemate heard her. Lilsis’ officemate has only met Mom at lilsis’ wedding, but she obviously has heard a lot of stories, from lilsis and various other people. Mom answers to only two people, and one of them is the governor. Mom has a reputation of do not fuck with me.

Lilsis’ officemate’s reaction was appropriately hilarious and I wish I could've been there.
