at least she's consistent...

So, probably 4 years ago, i was having lunch with the debutante in the facutly dining room, and she got up to leave. I said, "See you back at the ranch." She found that delightfully funny (as only an aging debutante could) and i thought she was just being polite, because that's just what one does...

here it is many years later, and she INVARIABLY, when leaving the dining room before me, or when i leave before her (i try to avoid the walk back to our building together) will say "see you back at the ranch."

it's not THAT funny, is it?

She sounds like she's humor-impaired, and also trying (pathetically) to bond with you.

oh yes, i'm sure she is. so i smile and say yes, see you there, etc. if it weren't for the Five Year Lie, it'd be more amusing than irritating.

My mom does the same thing - she still reminds me about 'cute' things I said 30 years ago.

When I was 10.

Sigh....... At least there's a chance that the debutante will retire. You don't get that with mothers.
