Mom’s On To Me


Yesterday was beauty shop day.  Mom remembered and she was waiting for me when I arrived at The Community*


After she was all done with her hair, mom looked in the mirror at the beauty shop and said, “I’m getting old looking.”

Joanne*said, “Old, what you talking about Gilda.”

“Mom, you look gorgeous.”

“Huh, did you hear what my daughter said?”

“Yes, I did.”

“It’s nice to have a daughter who thinks your beautiful?”



“It sure is, Gilda.”

“Joanne*, I know what my daughter is up to!”

“What’s that, Gilda?”

“She is trying to make me feel better.”

“Oh-no, Gilda, you are on to her.”

“She thinks I don’t know what she is doing!”

“You are right, mom.  I do want you to feel good, but I do think you are beautiful.”

“Ok, Julienne, let’s go.”
