A matter of opinion
All I wanted
to do was to find a nice dress for a special event. I tried on dress after
dress – A-lined dresses, straight dresses, flowers, solid colors. Shopping was
draining. My mother often provides constructive feedback on our rare shopping
excursions. This time she wasn’t with me.
In the
fitting room, I posed in front of the long mirror and snapped a picture. The
blush colored dress was sort of cute, it was knee length and has spaghetti
straps. Just in time for summer vacation. I texted the picture to my mom and
her response was, “that one’s kinda cute. You might want to wear a girdle with
it though.”
“I AM
wearing a girdle.”
I left that
dress in the fitting room and went home to make sure my gym membership had not
expired.
Dishwashing
Passing like
two ships in the night, it’s not uncommon for my son and me to miss seeing each
other. Our schedules don’t always coincide. Many times we correspond through
text messages. As we passed each other in the kitchen one day, I said, “Can you
help me out and wash the dishes?”
“I’ll do
them when I come in form work.”
He must have
been at work for two days, because those dishes did not seem to move. I washed
the dishes. The next afternoon while at work, I received a text from my son.
The message said, “We are going to have to talk about your dishwashing skills
when you get home. It’s ok this time, I’ll let it slide. Lol.”
“I just wanted
to get them done.”
“It looks
like you might have washed them while blindfolded.”
The crying
emoji that followed his comment, told me his sense of humor was at its peak.
What funny
things have your family members said or done lately?
