It's things like these:

Me: "Mom, can you print out a copy of my resume? I'm meeting the DU guy for lunch, and my printer's out of ink."

Her: "Is he cute?"

Me: *blink* "What?"

Her: "Is he married?"

Me: "Do you know how fast I would walk away if a potential boss started hitting on me?"

Her: "Honey! You should never dismiss the possibility! You should always flirt a little. Men will always be men!"

Me: *headshake, eyeroll, trying not to smirk at my mother's predictability, walking away*

Her: "...THERE! Do that again!"

Me: "Huh?"

Her: "Bat your eyes like that!"

Me: ".... Thanks for the printout, Mom. Leaving now."

Her: "You've got to wake up and join the world, honey! ... ... .... This resume looks awesome! I'm telling you, all you're missing is the flirting!"
