I was driving Queen Mom about this afternoon, having taken a half-vacation day, and who pulls up beside us and honks but Manbitch?
We rolled down our respective windows and after some pleasantries, I gestured to Mom and introduced her.
Mom leaned forward and yelled across to Manbitch:
"She is so mean to me!" (Pause for laughter) "She mistreats me!" (Pause for more laughter) "Tell everyone you know!"
And then we drove away.
I'm pretty sure my mom has had that exact same conversation through a window before. Eventually, she wins all my friends and acquaintances over to her side with her wit and charm, and they take turns mocking me. She may or may not come to regret that when she's too old to change her own diapers one day.

Rachelskirts - Ha! Yes, they should think ahead to the future.
Becs and Friend #3 - She has always been cool. I do have a cool Mom.

Joshua - (Hi Joshua!) No, but that MIGHT be this one: http://mocklog.typepad.com/queen_mediocretia/2006/06/in_which_we_alm.html
...it depends on how loosely you define lizard.
