Hate: My mother. I just get done with the Daily Show, am telling her about the UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child, and she starts freaking out exactly like those people on Fox News.
<Mom> "Wait, you mean they get to say they don't want to eat dinner?!"
<Me> "What? No. It's protection from exploitation, freedom of religion, not being punished for their parents' actions, that stuff."
<Mom> "Then why is Obama signing it?"
<Me> "Wha... Huh? The only other country that hasn't signed it is Somalia-"
<Mom> *angry* "Don't you yell at me! Forget it, I'm done."
Usually she's so chill, but at other times I'm reminded forcibly that, despite what she said to the contrary during the election, the woman is a republican through and through. Jesus Christ.
