Talks with my mom...

I went to my Other Other Mother's house today. I met her granddogger Finley and hung out with Kathryn (her daughter) for a bit as well. When I got in the car to drive home, I realized I had a text from my mom.

I did call her, and this is the conversation in a nutshell:

Mom: Hannah! I'm watching White Lotus. It's an HBO show. It has regular-looking people in it!

(My mom generally dislikes American television because she thinks everyone is pretty. It makes her happy when she discovers a show that has people in it who look "normal." Shows with people who aren't beautiful score higher in her book.)

Me: Oh yeah? What's it about?

Mom: Well, it's about a bunch of people in Hawaii who are really unhappy with their lives.

Me: Oh.

Mom: And it's not something I would normally watch, but it was recommended at knitting.

Me: Huh.

Mom: And Sweets... Connie Britton holds this one actor's genitalia in her hands, moving things out of the way to examine his testicles. Because they're enlarged and he thinks he might have testicular cancer.

Me: So she plays a doctor?

Mom: No! She's the wife! But Hannah! She's holding his genitalia in her hands. On American television. Have you ever seen anything like that? I'm going to have to keep watching. I'm on episode three. I think I need to see it out.

Me: I mean, I watched Euphoria, so...

Mom: Male genitalia! On American TV!

We talked about other things as well, but that was the big takeaway.
