I guess there's a first for everything?

Today, is a special day.

Today, is a day that I will remember for a long time.

Today, is the day that I, Danielle Reid, have become a woman.

You may wonder, why today? What happened that was so special that I felt it necessary to declare my womanhood too the people of the internet? Well I have the answer for you all.

Today, I stood up to one of the most feared woman of the 21st century... my mother.

Allow me to set the scene for you.

Today, I awoke at noon. Minutes aftwer my awakening, I received a phone call from my mother. This is how the conversation went...

Mom: Danielle, it's noon. What time did you wake up?

Me: Hmmm, about 10 minutes ago.

Mom: WHAT?!?!?!?!? What is the matter with you! Your wasting your whole day sleeping and not accomplishing anything at all. Your such a zero! What are you doing with your life???

After a couple minutes of these comments, my mother ended the conversation by hanging up the phone, leaving me on the other end feeling a little annoyed. So I thought to myself, "She wants to know what I'm going to do with my life? Well I'll tell her!"

I spent the next hor writing her a note answering her question and left it on the table for her to read when she came home. Luckily for me, I was going to be at my own job while she read this letter. About halfway through my shift, I received a phone call from my house phone. I couldn;t answer it since I was at work but I knew it was my mother and that she had something to say about that note I left her.

I spent the next two hours at work in fear of how much shit I would be in when I got home. When I came home, I preceded downstairs to where my mother was to confront her about the situation. She took it surprisingly well. She even apologized for the things she said to me on the phone. WTF?

I was expecting this huge reaction and fight to happen between us and nothing! Oh well, I guess you could say it was a good kind of dissapointment.

I never thought I'd see the day when I was upset that my mother didn't get mad at me.
