My mother's well aware that it's back to school season at work, and I've been pulling a lot of late nights. She's also aware that I worked until after 11:00 on Saturday. She knew all of this before agreeing to give me a ride home last night. So, needless to say, I was a bit irritated when I called her to tell her we were almost ready, this conversation happened:

Mother: Can't you get someone else to take you home?
Me: Not really.
Mother: I really don't feel like going down there to take you home.
Me: Well, I gotta get home somehow.
Mother: Can't you call that guy that took you home on Saturday?
Me: He's most likely asleep at this point.
Mother: Well, wake him up!
Me: I can't suddenly call someone to come down here this late!
Mother: *deep sigh* Fine, I'll come get you.

This prompted a big argument on the way home about how if I can't get someone to go out of their way at 11:00 at night, and on a two second notice on top of it, then they obviously aren't friends, and I shouldn't have anything to do with them. I tried arguing the point that even if I could call someone, they would have to get ready to leave their house and come get me, which would mean that I'd be sitting outside of work in the middle of the night for at least half an hour until they got there. She just told me that I'm "not making sense", and just ignored anything I said after that.

After all, who needs logic these days?
