That spiral notebook from 2019 had a list of 47 things my mom worried about

I was cleaning out my garage last weekend and found this old spiral notebook I used for work notes back in 2019. Flipping through it, there was a page where I had scribbled down a list of 47 worries my mom told me about over dinner the night before. Stuff like 'will my hydrangeas survive the frost' and 'is the mailman mad at me for not tipping at Christmas.' It hit me that she spends so much time carrying small things that don't matter. Has anyone else found a random list in an old notebook that made you see someone in your life differently?

Did she ever tell you what number 1 was?

Argue the opposite all you want, but I actually think she DID tell him number 1 off-screen and he's just playing coy. If you rewatch that scene from Season 3 when she mentions her top 5 movies, she gives a VERY specific pause before listing number 2 through 5, like she already said number 1 but the editor cut it out. I saw a YouTube breakdown that pointed out her lips move like she mouths "The Godfather Part II" before they cut to her talking about number 2. The showrunner even admitted in a podcast interview they left it ambiguous for "character mystery" but they had a clear answer in the writer's room.
