Day Nineteen

This one is brief:

I was in a huge building. Part of the time it was supposed to be a mall, so imagine high ceilings, lots of light, multiple floors, open middle area, however it was also a college campus building at one point as well. I think I was with Jesse and we were supposed to be meeting my mom somewhere. I can't remember if I knew she was with her new boyfriend, or if I found that out later.  When we finally spotted them, her new boyfriend was actually two young men. They were probably in their 20's and had a thuggish quality to them, ne'er do wells some might say.  When we started talking, I made some snarky comment about their age to which her reply implied that she was breaking up with them.  She said something very cryptic, like "well this isn't going to be lasting much longer, is it so-and-so?"  She really only spoke to one of the men, but did so in a very condescending tone.  We were trying to make plans to meet at her house, and I needed directions from where we were. Unfortunately, she didn't want to discuss this in front of her boyfriends, so she kept making signals with her eyes and motioning with her head to not reveal any details about where she lived.  I realized that now that she was breaking up with these guys, she didn't want them to know anything personal about her. I was trying to be vague, by saying things like, "we'll just head north, right?" and she'd start shaking her head as if to say "you are giving them too much information!" She was being so ridiculous about the whole thing that I was beginning to get frustrated, not only with her paranoia, but with the fact that she was making this whole scenario far more difficult than it needed to be in part because she thought it would be a good idea to date two 20 year old kids who were walking stereotypes of someone who would hold up a liquor store for quick cash.
