Mom’s birthday is this week and I wanted to buy her lunch today. She is the coffee committee at her UU church, so I went to the service to meet her. A woman sitting next to me said, “You should have your picture taken so your mother can see how nice you look”; which I thought an odd thing to say to a 42yo stranger, even a perfect one.
Back at Mom’s house, on seeing the garage door and the inner door both open, my first thought was: “The cats will get out!” (Mom has had no pets for several years now.)
