0 notes January 11, 2012 My Mom Doesn't Believe in Me (or she's just really sick of loaning me money) Me:Generous, forgiving moms are the key factor in most celebrity rags to riches stories Mom:That's a myth. Me:Maybe so, but just think of this as putting that beach house you've always wanted on layaway Mom:Layaway means I'm buying it myself. Me:Right, because that's technically what you're doing right now, only it's disguised as loaning me money to survive. The good part about this kind of layaway is that you actually get completely reimbursed with TONS of interest down the road Me:I'm like a walking, talking hedge fund Mom:Hedge funds are very high risk. That part is true.
