So yeah, I found out something interesting tonight. I was having dinner and my brother and sister were around and started talking to me, and somehow Humboldt came up.

"Ya, mom doesn't want you to go up there. She thinks you'll flunk out."
"Yeah, she thinks only stoners and hippies live up there."
"Oh really?"
"She doesn't want you living with Nathan either, if you come back with any tattoos or piercings she'll kill you."

That pretty much sums it up. I don't know whether to laugh at this, or feel hurt or what. I mean, yeah, my mom is kind of nuts at times, but who isn't? I think I'm more hurt at this point. The fact that my mom thinks I'll flunk out is horrible, and especially since she told this to my siblings, whose combined GPAs might equal mine. I'm also upset that she'd be so mad about me getting a tatto or piercing. Obviously I have no plans for anything like that, but I think I should be allowed to have them, should I so desire. I'm wondering whether or not I should confront her on this shit. Any opinions?
