My mom is kind of crazy

So on sunday I get a call from my mother who's calls I've kind of been dodging because she wants me to visit arizona and that place sucks. She also likes to pester me about going back to school and finishing. Anyways she called me up over the weekend when I was sick so I answered because talking to my mom is more fun than laying around coughing. When I tell my mother I'm sick what is the first thing she says? "Te mojastes los pies!" For those that have never had a crazy mexican mother what she meant was that I'm sick because I got my fucking feet wet. Now this may not make much sense to anyone who has any sense of health but getting your feet wet to my mother results in pneumonia. The same can happens if you leave the house without your jacket after she's instructed you to wear it. The jacket I could kind of see but what the fuck does wet feet have to do with having a cold. Anyways my mothers solution is put on some "vapurrub" and get some rest. Vapurrub is actually vicks vapor rub but my mother considers it to be one word. But yeah as a kid my mother used to yell at me about wet feet all the time because I'd go play in the creek or some shit with my friends and get my shoes wet. She'd get mad at me for fucking up my shoes and tell me that I was now going to get sick because I didn't listen to her.

Whatever though, I just thought getting yelled at for probably getting my feet wet when I wasn't suppose to was funny. Especially considering that I am not eight years old anymore.
