Me: Elizabeth Warren is coming to Detroit Tuesday!
Mom: That name sounds familiar.
Me: She's running for president, I would hope so!
Mom: *slightly embarrassed laughter* oh..
[some time later]
Me: So, who are you voting for?
Mom: I like Bernie and the woman with the short hair.
Me: Short blonde hair?
Mom: Yeah!
Me: THAT'S ELIZABETH WARREN!
Mom: Well I didn't know her name.
Me: *crying inside*
