One day on the phone, I said to my mom, "Hey, mom, remember when you used to go on business trips? I would cry so hard and not want you to go." She replied, "I don't think you cried that hard." I said, "Yes, I did! I really hated for you to go." Then she said, "Well, you never seemed to be interested in spending time with me or talking to me when i was home, so I didn't think it would matter."
