- Show & Tell's organizer, Sue (alias Susan T. Hessel,) shared the story of her Mom always changing after dinner into her night gown, robe and slippers. Sue and her brother tended to be absorbed in the paper. After dinner one night their Mom appeared in a dress, all coiffed and donning a string of pearls. This different appearance really got the kids attention and they looked at her in shock and asked her why she was all dressed up? Her reply: "Well, I thought if I looked like Donna Reed you would pay attention to what I said." The lengths a Mom will go to for her kids's attention, eh? I'm sure glad Sue inherited her Mom's sense of humor.
Just having Nancy Matchett there had to make it interesting.
ReplyDeleteAnd how do you know Nancy? Nancy shared a song she recently sang for a funeral.
