Mother & Son

Elaine May & Mike Nichols
It's true, I'm missing the college boy up in Santa Cruz.  I'm trying hard not to call him, trying to disengage, trying not to nag, something he excused me of doing the other day.  Rather them book him on a guilt trip, I'm watching this classic skit with Mike Nichols and Elaine May.  Enjoy.

  1. Is there a comparable video from the perspective of the son? The call - your - parent script would have to be based on the college student's heirarchy of needs starting with the need for money, then the need for non-cafeteria food, a lawyer, then rumor control caused by parental stalking of Facebook and other electronic amusements, then clothes /toys / event tickets, leading up to the pinnacle - loneliness and dis-attached affection for mom and pop.

  2. The Saturday Night Live skit "Oh no, My Mom's on Facebook" is the closest.
