My mother, who looks a lot like Diane Keaton and if I'm doing the math right is forty-eight, is going to a murder mystery party tomorrow night as a twenty-year-old and wants me to go with her to the Salvation Army to buy a miniskirt.
Let's all stew on that for a minute, shall we?

ALL of my children have walked in on us at least once. My daughter once announced to my mother (who called just moments after my daughter walked back out of our room) what we were doing.
And they've all complained that we're too noisy.
Crabby kids. :)

For her next birthday...

Date: 2006-03-03 05:51 pm (UTC)The best of times is when you're the murderer. Everyone's throwing accusations left and right, and you only find out you're the SOB that did the deed on the last round of clues. That's for a moment of evil basking and smugness. Well, at least it was for me. Double agents killing princesses and stealing their identities are always badass in my book.

Her legs looked better than mine!

Date: 2006-03-04 12:48 am (UTC)My mum is 60 this year; she still has quite a nice figure--actually, for her age, it's awesome--and loves fancy dress parties, having a drink and a laugh and such. Also, she breakdances!
I don't know ANYONE, and that includes my friends and people my age, who parties harder and has more fun than she does. All her friends love her because she brings so much happiness and laughter to any gathering.
I couldn't love her more or be more proud of her for just being who she is. The most valuable lesson I've learned from her is that being yourself, and not being afraid to be yourself, is so much better than acting "cool", and you'll always have more fun that way. She is the coolest person I know and I am the luckiest girl in the world because she's my Mum.
Flowers spring to blossom where she walks
The careful ways of duty,
Our hard, stiff lines of life with her
Are flowing curves of beauty.
