I remember my mom trying to tell her niece the trick to dealing with mom's sister. Niece was very resistant--"no, no, I know how to handle my mom". Finally my mom explained that the trick is to take Grandma's new happy pills.

That was a weird summer spent at the hospital, with Grandpa in the ICU and mom's sister driving everyone batty (including Grandma, hence the new happy pills).

Oh, and Mom got really talkative driving me home on happy pills and that's how I learned my dad was her second husband. I was a college sophomore, iirc.

jesus that went all over the place

I took a couple vicodine and went shopping with my mother about ten years ago. i was like "its really nice to spend time with you"

Aww, that's sweet! It's nice to feel those feelings.

I kind of wish I knew what the happy pills were--they seemed super effective on everyone that took them (I think at one point my grandma, mom, and her two nieces were on them), and they were effective after one dose.

Myself, the hardest med I've had was codeine after wisdom teeth removal. Joke's on me, codeine makes me vomit, which really sucks after wisdom teeth removal. Opiates are not my friend.

it might just have been codeine, its notoriously side-effect prone.
