my mother has said some "winner" things to me (said with sarcasm)...but i have many a time felt myself defending my mother.

she must have thought me an idiot sometimes. i remember once i was writing a story at a young age (somewhere in elementary school) and she said be sure not to be put things in parts of the world that don't belong there...like don't put a elephant in the middle of a big city...she said (assuming i thought that wild elephants roamed big cities, like say pigeons do). i remember thinking to myself (even being in 4th grade)...wow my mom sincerely thinks I'm stupid.
