One thing that makes me um, uncomfortable about getting older is the changing relationship that I have with my mother. Its weird that she's going from less like the overbearing, controlling, parental figure to more like a peer. It was one thing for her to not have a problem with me going out drinking, then not having to worry about her not approving of me dressing like a skank when I do so. Then there's being able to gossip about things, and make cracks about things like I do with my brother. I joke with Paul how Mum is "maturing" as we get older, but Im sure its the other way around.

Tonight her and I were watching television and there was a show on about a woman who had a bunch of escort services in the US and she casually remarks "I see no problem with that". I know I probably made a face because I was thinking "What? You're Catholic!". But I looked at her and asked "Prostitution?", and she said that she had no problem with legalized prostitution (neither do I, for that matter). I never woulda figured that out of my mother.

Prostitution is legal in New Zealand, so we get Department of Labour/Occupational Safety and Health guides for employers and contractors (download the PDF and be amused at the glossary).

Some terms are just made even more amusing when they're defined by the government.
