Mothers Listen Over Time

We were at Cracker Barrel, in IN on our way back from NY, when my mother called.
"Ahoy hoy," I said.
"Danny?" my mother asked since I had been answering my phone either ahoy hoy or cello for four years now and thought it might be someone else.
"Yes Mom?" I yammered.
"I have a question for you. Who wrote Leaving Jackson?"
"That was Josh and myself," I am very proud of that song.
"Oh, I thought it was Johnny Cash."
"Ha, nope. It was me."
"Well, I wanted to know because now it's my favorite song and I've been playing it repeatedly."
It made me happy that my mother has been enjoying the song. Even though when I first showed it to her she didn't seem to care one way or another. It just goes to show you mothers listen but sometimes it takes longer for them to process. Now I am going to remind her about the Batman toy I always wanted.
