My Last Argument

The last argument I was in was with my mom. It took place a couple of weeks ago when I went clubbing in the cities with some friends. I had to lie to my mom about it because I knew she didn't want me to go (my parents are very old fashioned.) I told my mom I was going to Byron to stay with my friends family. She found out the day that I left from my tattle-tale little sister and called me steaming mad on the phone. I argued with her for about 15 minutes when I was shopping in Charlotte Russe at the Mall of America. It was actually kind of embarassing. I tried to explain that I was 19 years old and in college and I should be able to do what I wanted to do, but this didn't persuade her. This could be an appeal to pity fallacy because I wanted to make her feel sorry for me using emotions. I finally just hung up on her and waited two days to call back. This probably wasn't the best solution but it worked and now I can tell her anything and she doesn't really care.
