A ringtone just for mom

In honor of Mother’s Day, and in light of her undeniable involvement in my worst vacation ever, I have assigned a unique ringtone just for my mom. Any of my readers who have followed my past rants about how high strung and bossy my mom is will completely understand and recognize how appropriate my song choice is.

From now on, when my mom calls me, I will hear this ringtone.

For those of you not familiar with it, it’s called The Imperial March, also known as Darth Vader’s theme song. He controlled people by using the Force, my mom contols people with Guilt.

Those of you who happen to be parents or will become parents, take this as a lesson. Don’t be a control freak with your kids, or you’ll end up raising someone with a bottomless pit of resentment and an innate fear of rejection. Those of you who are victims of overly controlling parents, feel free to download this MP3 to your phone and use it as your mom’s unique ringtone. Cheers!
