I could see your awestruck little eyes scanning her purchases faster than the checker could and I dreaded what was coming. You started tugging at my skirt..."MOM......MOM.....MOMMMM" very loudly now, with no discretion or regard to the fact that she was standing right next to us: "Doesn't that lady KNOW that all that stuff is reaaallly baaaad for her and is only going to make her fatter than she already is?" I wished I could have "beamed me up, scotty" anywhere but here! The woman looked over as I stuttered an apology and said, "Its all right.....the sad part is that it's really true and I should know better". Perhaps you saved her life and led her to a healthier lifestyle that day, but I was embarrassed beyond belief! AND...... how about the day we went to the battered woman's shelter to take groceries and you had asked ahead of time why we were going and who lived there and I explained, never hedging from the truth.....only to have you say loudly: MOM.....MOMMMMM.... That lady doesn't look like she was beat up!!" when the lady at the shelter opened the door... "I'm sooooo sorry"!!!!!!!! I COULD GO ON, but I think your readers get the message that even back then you always had plenty to say and were not afraid to say it VERY LOUDLY!!!!!!!<br><br>loved you then, love you still, mom Funny you should say that about being in the grocery line…was that a prompt for me to tell your readers about the time you made me want to sink into a puddle at the store?…OK, here goes….
