My Mommy.
In a way, it is comforting to know that there are people who are more insane that I am.  However, that solace is shaken  with the knowledge that this person is in fact related to me.  And, since half of my genes are from her, that means that I am carrying around enormous insanity growth potential. 
Sample Dialogue...
Anybody: Man, I really had a bad day today.
Mom: Well I didn't see you up at 5am to drive to Jersey City.
Anybody: That's because I didn't take a job that I seem to hate and know I'll have to drive an hour to. 
Mom: Mingo liked Dad's Cat Chow (tm)
Anybody: What??
Mom: Just because Chris and Jack only eat Friskies (tm) doesn't mean that that Mingo has to.  I gave Mingo Dad's (tm)!!
Anybody: (softly under breath) sombody talks too much...
Mom: WELL I SMOKE CRACK AND I'M CRAZY!!!!
I'll tell you what Mom.  I'm an eighteen year old who's life is horribly off track.  How's about you (a full grown adult who is much older than I) start making some decisions for yourself??
