Good news: nobody’s family is normal!
I’m pretty sleepy and I have to go to work early tomorrow; otherwise something better would be written here

↓ TranscriptIn the hall outside of Maria’s apartment.
WREN: How did you even find Maria’s place?
MOM: You pointed to her building when we drove by, remember? Your father told me you were here.
MOM: So, are you going to give me a schedule of your classes?
WREN: A what of my what?
MOM: So we can see what’s a good time for you to give me a real tour of your college.
WREN: I gave you a tour three days ago!
MOM: Yes, after you told me what a terrible time it was to give a tour because there was no class in session. I want to meet your professors and your friends.
WREN: You hate my professors as a concept. And you’re probably not going to like any of my friends.
MOM: I always liked Maria. She’s such a nice, normal girl, and she loves God. I bet she makes her mother very happy.
WREN: You only met Maria once, ma.
MOM: Yes, and I’m an excellent judge of character, Wren. And I bet Maria doesn’t talk back to her parents.
Ouch, this is *such* a familiar family interaction.
What’s hilarious is that everything Mom says about Maria, except the “talking back to her parents” and “making her mother very happy” is true. Maybe she is a decent judge of character.
