so passive agressive she is

i don't like being baited. my mom knows this. and yet she continues to try to do it. the email, then a phone call to my home phone at 1 ppm in the afternoon on a work day with no message left.

i didn't respond to any of them.

and finally there was the phone call this morning. i was simply going to not answer. but dealing with her emotional reaction to me not dealing with her, well, it's easier to just fake the relationship and lie to her.

except this morning i'm not really in the mood so i just settled for answering the phone. one word monotone answers.

it makes me want to go live with a tribe in a remote part of the world were i can't possibly be expected to communicate with her or anyone else on a regular basis.
