"...lady don't take no..."

So the other day I was driving with my mom in tow and we had the following conversation

Mom: So who are you dating now?
Me: No one.
Mom: What do you think about [girl A]?
Me: I'm not saying anything right now.
Mom: What about [girl B]?
Me: Mama me. I'm not going to say anything right now.
Mom: Femi! You have to tell me!
Me: When I'm ready to bring a girl to you, I will.
Mom: But I need to know now!
Me: Why?
Mom: I need to know who to pray for.
Me: Can't you just pray for God's guidance?
Mom: Yes, but it's better if I can tell Him a name.

Apparently she had forgotten (or chosen to ignore) my answer to her very first question. Or about the fact that she pretty much discovered that my sister had a boyfriend when said boyfriend became fiancee. Ah, mothers. But I love her for it. To her, it's just concern and trying to get her to see otherwise is as futile an effort as trying to get Public Enemy and Rage Against the Machine to start reunion tours at Baylor.
