Not her mother

I had to take me mother to a doctor's appointment the other day at 8 o'clock in the morning since her appointment was at 8:30. . She tells me to park in the garage and we will just take the elevator to building B. Well, that I guess, is impossible to do without an escort from a hospital volunteer since the doctor offices are spread out everywhere. Once the elevator door finally opens after 5 minutesof waiting , the volunteer was actually getting pissed too..we are on our way.

We take the elevator to the emergency room, then walk thru the narrow hallways passed the ambulance bays, passed the check in desk and almost out the exit doors. But wait we make a sharp right to this hidden elevator, different than the first set, and take the elevator to the floor B. I am just making chit chat talk with him in the elevator of how we never would find this and maybe we just might have to page him to get us back to the car in the garage when the doors open and I take 3 steps out and I hear...

" I knew that was ( insert first and last name) as soon as the doors of the elevator opened" from the nurse behind the desk.

I smile and say "HI...how have you been"... she then says " you have no idea who I am , do you?"
Me: "yup. its ( first and last name )"
her: "wow.. you look great, how have you been ?"
me: " doing good.., sorry its kinda too early for me..I am just driving my mother to her doctors appointment, I am not awake this early, sorry "

And with that, I just go sit down and let me capable mother sign herself in and pay her co-pay. I dint get up early after a crazy weekend and after 19 years since I graduated high school want to have a reunion at 8:00 am !!!!!! Call me a BITCH if you want but this is the same girl who I was close with from 7th grade till 10th when we both tried out for basketball cheerleader and she made the team and I didnt..so she dropped me like a hot potato. I would get the occasional HI from her in hallways but because she was so busy with practice and games she ignored me and wanted to only hang out with the cheerleader crowd and such.

So while waiting for my mother to be called, Mom says" i am sure she is in the back room calling her daughter telling her who walked into the office today" I look at my mother kinda strange and "WHAT??" she repeats herself two more times and finally I get what my mother is trying to say--and I start laughing so hard.

ME: " that's not her mother....that (name) who I went to school with ....NOT her MOTHER !!"
MOM: " OMG-- she looks bad...she looks as old as I do! she didnt age very well!"

and with that ..we both start laughing hysterically !!


I have not been to any of the high school reunions and I wasnt going to start now. I guess it has been too long to be friendly with people who were so mean to me. I can say Hi but i am not going to go into my whole life since I saw you last...is that wrong?

I guess after 19 years since high school ended I still look the same ( size and shape) ....that can not be said for all my classmates !!
