The Bell

Early one morning, a strange sound woke me up. I followed it down to Mom’s room. I found her sitting up in bed, holding a tiny bell. Me: Please tell me you didn’t ring that to summon me. Mom: I most certainly did. Me: I will now take it from you so you never do that again. Mom: For Heaven’s sake why not? Me: Because I am not your servant. I am here out of love, not duty.

I Want My Teeth

I give Mom a hug. She wants no part of it. Mom: I want my teeth. Me: I was trying to have a moment. Mom: My teeth.

Comes In Two Sizes No Less

When I asked “Do you trust me?” She whispered “Yes.” “Do you understand I will do everything in my power to keep you healthy and safe?” She smiled and nodded. “That means you must obey me.” Her mood shifted in an instant. Then she puckered up for a kiss. A sign of surrender or one wishing me luck?
