Meanwhile, back at the ranch, my mother continues her tradition of giving Easter baskets to her adult children. "I'm not giving you any chocolate this year," she says, "because it's not good for you and you don't need it.".....So I look in this basket, and... there's Reese's peanut butter eggs, mini-Snickers, and a chocolate bunny. "I told you I didn't give you much chocolate," she says, already rewriting history.
Sweetie, if I didn't know better, I'd think we have the same mother! Mine has, for the last ten years, announced in mid-November that we won't be getting very much for Christmas, since we're all grown and don't need as much. Yet when we arrive at the house, there are so many packages under the tree we can't recall what color the carpet is. If my sister or I dare to tease her about it, she claims she said no such thing, and that we're making it all up. *hee*
