• when you poot at her and all she does is giggle
  • when she assures you that you are not crazy, though hard evidence indicates otherwise
  • when you question your own talent and she smacks you for that
  • when she talks to you for an hour on the phone even though she's at work and could catch trouble because she can hear in your voice how much you need her wisdom right now
  • when she realizes that the best way to get you past the funk you're in is laughter through tears...and not only does she realize that's what you need, but she has just the joke to get you laughing.
