She’s not she’s a sweetheart and all of these allegations and lies he spreads about my baby breaks my heart

Yes this is a joke he loves her lol

I’m a 31M and my mom “Debbie” is early 60s F. Debbie is a very sheltered person for lack of a better word. She’s never left our state and rarely even leaves my hometown. Imagine the kind of white lady who thinks ranch is spicy, that’s my mom Debbie.

Well, she and I go to dinner a couple times per month. Debbie surprisingly likes Mexican food. But she always egregiously mispronounces words and embarrasses herself. For example, she says “tortilla” like it rhymes with “Manila”, “chipotle” like it rhymes with “bottle,” and “tamale” like it rhymes with “pale.” There are other examples too, but that’s all I can think of off the top of my head.

Last weekend, we went to one of our favorite local places. They have a platter with mole sauce that she likes, but she often forgets the word. She asked the waiter for “ferret sauce”, and he couldn’t figure out wtf she wanted. She said “it’s a small animal like a groundhog, but I don’t remember.” She meant mole (moh-lay), which I guess she mispronounces as mole like the animal.

Well because of that, I don’t want to go out to “non-American” restaurants with her anymore. I think she comes off as ignorant and I get so embarrassed. WIBTA if I told her to try harder to pronounce things appropriately, or else I won’t go with her anymore?

Do I even have to tell you what's wrong with this? FYI they're planning to do this anyways, it doesn't matter what you say. This was a survey Nike sent to some of their customers.

Been watching a cat for a friend for a few months now, wake up this morning to my new pair of doc martens torn to shreds at the toes. Been polishing and taking great care of these since I got them a month or so ago. I usually put them up on a rack but forgot last night, definitely paid for my stupidity. $200 basically trashed right there. Half of it was a birthday present from my girlfriend and neither of us make enough right now to just buy a new pair of boots, we can barely make rent. Real bummer way to start my day.

EDIT: I am NOT throwing the boots away over this like some think. When I said trashed I just meant the look, i had just woken up and worded it poorly. If I can't get the look smoothed out these will become my work boots since my current work boots are falling apart, and I will figure out getting a new pair to keep nice and wont let this happen again.
