Are you a good daughter? Take this test and find out!
1. Your mom has an early flight out of a Chicago airport, so she's planning to come to the city the day before, stay the night with you, and you'll drop her at the airport in the morning. She's coming in on the train and asks if you can pick her up after work. It happens to be the day your company is holding its annual booze cruise. Do you:
A) Go on the boat cruise but stick to soda.
B) Go on the boat cruise and have five beers.
2. The boat docks at 4, and Mom won't be in until 6:30. Do you:
A) Return to work and get some overdue projects wrapped up.
B) Hit the bar with your co-workers and have a slew of margaritas.
3. Mom's train is delayed an hour. Do you:
A) Thank your lucky stars and switch to water so you can sober up.
B) Do a couple shots.
4. Your mom calls and says her train is finally in. Do you:
A) Grab a cab and pick her up.
B) Ask her to grab a cab and come to the bar.
5. Mom comes to the bar. She's excited about meeting your boss and co-workers. Do you:
A) Make cordial introductions and then hop in a cab and go for dinner.
B) Order up another round and yell "Hey everyone, this is my mom! Isn't she HOT?"
If you answered B to everything, congratulations! You're a terrible daughter, but you're fun so maybe no one will notice.
That's okay, I made it up to her by taking her and Josh out for a nice sushi dinner afterwards, and driving her to the airport at the butt crack of dawn this morning. Anyway, she reads the blog. I doubt she was surprised.

Right now I am drinking a mimosa. It's okay to be jealous.
