"Take a cab?" Greg said, in apparent astonishment. "Don't be ridiculous; I'll drive the two of you to this binge. And in fact, I'll come back in a few hours to pick you up again. I'm not useful for much, I know, but I can at least drive a car."

"Really?" said Brigid. "You sure?"

"Of course I'm sure," said Greg. "Why wouldn't I be?"

Brigid shifted a little. "I dunno; I guess I just wasn't expecting it, considering how much you dislike my mother."

"I don't dislike your mother!" Greg protested, wounded to the quick. "I don't dislike her at all! I just find her exhausting. She's perfectly fine in small doses."

"Exhausting?" said Brigid. "That's a new one on me. How do you figure that one?"

"Well," said Greg, apparently reluctant to just come out and say it. "She's tiring. You know. She's like the drum-beating rabbit in the television commercial, who just keeps on going and going. I can't keep up with the never ending stream of people or things she doesn't approve of."

Brigid's mom sounds a lot like one of my grandmothers, or both when they're together.

My other grandmother has the decency to disapprove of people behind their backs.

Better than either of them know anybody else, I would hazard a guess...

Unfortunately, that sounds entirely like too many people I know/have known.
