Sassy Black Friend

Television shopping fun for the whole family

The big move has started. And surprisingly the most dramatic thing so far has been trying to buy a television with my boyfriend’s mother. Why? Because I’m an idiot. His parents came down to DC to help with the move (sort of – in a not really helpful way), and have been here since Sunday. So, he’s a bout done with them.

This morning his mom called and asked if I needed help with any errands. Since I knew he needed a break from them, I suggested that she go shopping with me. She agreed and picked me up around 11. We had a nice lunch and headed to get the television.

Now, we’ve talked about my love of gadgets and electronics before, but this trip tested that love.

Dan’s mom is a really smart woman, and we get along well. But she couldn’t care less about televisions and it showed. She got bored and started talking about unrelated things every five minutes. I thought the salesperson was going to smack us both and kick us out of the store.

I eventually had to send her off to look for something else so I could finish drooling, asking questions and figuring out warranty stuff.

The saga continues.
