"When I was 16, I thought my mom was insane. You know what I&amp;#039;m talking about, CG!&amp;#039;s. She was loud, embarrassing, and ALWAYS wanted to know what was going on in my life. What really threw me for a loop, though, was that all my friends thought she was amazing. When we were bored, they always wanted to go to my house to hang out and ask my mom for advice about hair, clothes, and boys. It took me a while to realize this, but my mom is pretty amazing. I&amp;#039;m still convinced she&amp;#039;s slightly crazy, but I love her for it. Although I would never admit it to her, what she said about most of those boys was true. And I thank my lucky stars everyday that my mom owns a beauty salon, because my prom and homecoming up-dos always looked amazing. I won&amp;#039;t be preachy, CG!&amp;#039;s, because I&amp;#039;m still young enough to remember the time my mom dropped me off at school and then proceeded to honk the horn at me as I walked into school because I refused to kiss her goodbye. But I&amp;#039;m just saying, no matter how horrible you might think your mom is \u2013 she loves you. And with time, you&amp;#039;ll come to understand each other. Now that I&amp;#039;ve said all the sappy stuff\u2014I want to hear from you! Has your mom embarrassed you? Tell me some stories!
