Choosing a career is a lot scarier than it used to be...
Me:
So Mom, instead of teaching I'm considering looking for jobs with a non-profit like Planned Parenthood or NARAL, maybe doing PR or something. It is a passion of mine and everything...
Mom:
Well that's fine ... if you plan on going to hell.
Me:
Thanks, but I don't believe in hell.
Mom:
Just because you don't believe in it doesn't mean you won't end up there.
Me:
Just because you believe in it doesn't mean it exists.
Mom:
I'd rather not talk about hell during dinner.
Me:
(our food arrives) Well you brought it up.
Dad:
Hell? What about hell? Huh?
Mom & Dad bow their heads to say grace, I dig in. And so goes another lovely Roberts family dinner.
