HA! My mom is such a dork.

[apocalypsos]

My mother was called for jury duty but ended up not getting picked. So she just called me now with this:

Mom: Did you see what I would have been picked for if I'd ended up having to do jury duty?!
Me: Oh, it'd have to be the Stephen Scher trial, right?
Mom: Yes!
Me: Hey, that sucks! You would have gotten to see Dr. Baden.
Mom: I know!
Me: You would have been mad, though. He got yelled at for dropping that evidence down the drain.
Mom: I know. I told all of my friends at work that I could have seen Dr. Baden and they were like, "Who?" Who?! He was at the O.J. Simpson trial, he was at the Claus von Bulow trial --
Me: Oh, hey, did you see that they're rerunning that Autopsy show that he did, like, ten years ago on HBO, except now it's on A&E or Biography or whatever, but it's under another name so you can't really tell unless you recognize the voiceovers on the commercials?
Mom: Oh, yeah, your dad tapes those for me.

My mother fangirls a forensic pathologist. And people wonder where I get it from.
