[quote=Anonymous]My mom used to (and still does!) gush over things in a way I used to find embarrassing. Example: We were in Greece when I was 8 and saw bougainvilleas. She said, “My goodness, aren’t those bougainvilleas just astonishing?!” When I was a kid, I used to roll my eyes and think “there goes mom, gushing over the flowers again,” but now I find it very endearing. My dad used to try to bond with anyone who came over to our house to fix anything or do any manual labor. I think he felt insecure about the fact that he couldn’t really do any of that. So he’d stand behind, say, the plumber and be like “oh yeah, I totally understand why you’re using that tool. Makes total sense. I would’ve done the exact same thing.” [/quote]
