Context: my parents feel the need to express their angst because BF and I are not moving to the suburbs this summer, and they truly believe that living in the city equates to my taking out a Craigslist ad in which I beg to be stabbed.
Her: Your neighborhood that you want to move to is not safe. It is only a few miles away from the bad neighborhood. Dad and I will never sleep if you sign that lease. (more dramatics) Me: Mom. Every safe neighborhood in this city is close to a "bad" neighborhood. Also, I'm 25. I'll be 26 in the fall. Are we really doing this right now? Please chill. Her: Yes. YOU ARE ONLY 25 AND THAT IS....oh, shit, that's how old I was when I married your dad and we bought our house. Me: (smug)
