Okay sooooooooo my mom walks in and goes through some of my old pants and is like "TRY THESE ON TO SEE IF THEY FIT!!" Normal mom stuff...so i do that and we're just talking and all of a sudden out of no where she asks me, "Did you go to Furry Fiesta 2012?"................I just stare at her and stare in silence...I DID NOT tell her ANYTHING about that convention...nothing. I respond with, "Why...yes i did...but mom...how on earth did you know about that con?" and she smiles and says "Well...i found a shirt in your laundry basket" and i went "OOOOOOOOOOOH okay...okay i gotcha"

Now she RARELY talks about the furry thing, she's almost NEVER gone any further than that question...but after that i thought she was going to change subjects...then she asks "well, did you have fun? What did you do there?" and a thousand other questions...USUALLY it's annoying when she asks me a ton of questions at once...but this time it...was rather awesome, because it was about my interest in the fandom.

I told her about the Raves, and Artist Den, the Dance Contest, Fursuit Parade, Furry Night Live and other things...I had told her that me and sebastian (who she does know IRL) and a friend of his (who is silverwolf) competed and won first place and a cash prize for it, she seemed surprised that they gave out cash prizes.

Overall...for the first time ever practically, she took an interest in this part of my lifestyle...and in the end she said "i really didn't know all that went on at a convention, it sounds really fun...like a big party...and i know you were responsible Brent" typical mom protective comment X3...I believe she realized by herself that the fandom is focused around hanging around friends you love and fine arts of Drawing, Music, Comedy, etc.

What a nice way to start the afternoon! :3
