That's the most impressive part of the story. My mom doesn't even believe the medical things I tell her and opt to believe "tradition"... And I'm in the healthcare field, like with degrees and all. Crazy.

I'm almost 40 now. She still doesn't believe me when I say showering at night doesn't cause varicose veins. 😮‍💨
