Alton Brown, loving son

So, last night I went to see Alton Brown at Borders in Buckhead. He spoke for about half an hour before signing. The highlights:

Alton: "Hey, good to see you all. Who was here two years ago when we did the last signing?"

Several people, including a small blonde lady in her sixties, raise their hands.

Alton: "Hi Mom!"

a few minutes later...

Alton: "Mom, I feel bad with you standing back there. COme up here and take my chair, I'm not using it."

Alton's Mother takes the chair next to the stage. A few more minutes pass...

Alton: "Mom. Get off the cellphone Mom. Mom. Gimme that!"

Alton takes his mothers cellphone.

Alton: "You get this back later!"
