"I don't mean to be morbid..."

I love my mother.  I really do.  However, there are things that come out of her mouth that I just wish she would think about before the words leave her mouth.  Just take a second, think it over than speak.  I don't know if anyone else has a mother like this but I do.  I feel like I was the only kid that had to go in to school the next day after teacher conferences and apologize for my mother's behavior just so I could smooth things over.  Ms. Briggs (one of my favorite teachers of all time) used to ask if my mother was coming in so she could mentally prepare for their conference.  There are so many "Nancyism" that I could make a whole website based on the things that leave her mouth.  "Shit that Nancy says" I think would have worked so much more "Shit my dad says"
    Things brings me to our tasting.  We had a tasting at Affairs Catering (25 years of service based out of Rowley Country Club) this evening.  After countless emails between Mitch and I, I ask my mother if she has any questions about the company.  Now earlier this week I made sure to send her the fake contract w/ prices, menus, FAQ sheet from the company.  I felt strongly that I had done my work to impress her with who detailed I was.  She didn't even bat and I when she took out her sheet of paper with 20 questions on it.  I was okay with her asking questions until she broke out the mother of all questions...

"Well Mitch I don't mean to be morbid or anything but what happens if something were to happen to you?"  I met Meri's eyes across the table and I had to look away. So I turned to Kevin for a glimmer of hope that she really didn't say that and his stuck open. I immediately look at Mitch who is in his 60's with a face that I hoped said "please forgive her."  I tried to be smooth and jump in so Mitch wouldn't have to feel like talking about his own death. "I think what my mother is trying to say if something happened with the company or you would we loose money?"  Mitch laughed off the situation and moved on, thankfully.  But I was still in shock that she went as far as to ask if the guy kicks the bucket would we loose everything.

Overall, great tasting.  Bad questions. 

*SIDE NOTE*
Long story short (too late) the food was really fantastic and I liked the guy.  He did talk for a very VERY Long time and were there for almost three hours!  He knew what he was talking about and listened very closely to what I hadasked him to prepare.  He seems the most reasonable priced one so far.    If his company ended up being our catering company, I would not be sad about it. 

Now lets see what kind of numbers he call pull off

*If you have a story about your mother and your wedding please, forward them along to me.
