I picked Bitchy up from her apartment early this morning so
that she could come home and bask in all that is Easter. Or…so she could shower
and get ready for her all day gig driving the beverage cart at the golf course. (Apparently everyone GOLFS on Easter
Sunday.)
She convinced me to go through the Drive-Thru Dunkin Donuts
on the way home by informing me that her switching her caffeine addiction from
Starbucks to DD has helped her save a ton
of money. How that helps me in particular
I do not know, but I smiled and rewarded this momentous decision with the quick
detour.
The girl who handed us Bitchy’s coffee was wearing THE MOST
ridiculous bunny sunglass/mask contraption and I laughed out loud! Bitchy handed me the money and when I
received her change I gave a dollar to the girl and said, “Thanks for making my
day.”
As we drove off Bitchy turned to me. “I can’t believe you tipped her with MY
MONEY!”
“Bitchy, she was working on EASTER. And she deserved it.”
“No! She was
probably Jewish, and that mask was
hideous! It was creepy! Do not
give my money away without asking!”
“Honey, you know
you have to treat others the way YOU want to be treated!”
“Oh, Jesus,” she muttered as she rolled her eyes.
“What goes around COMES around,” I added.
“Oh, for God’s’ sake, stop it!”
“Honey, Listen to me.
I want you to go to heaven! I am determined
that you go to heaven some day, even if I have to drag you there myself. And after this conversation, I’m
guessing that’s exactly what I’m going to have to do.”
(A mother's work is never done. NEVER.)

ReplyDeleteMaybe you could give her a new pseudonym up to which she could rise.
ReplyDeleteWell, I COULD do that. But she's worked SO hard to earn the one she has.
ReplyDelete:-)
You are always so awesome...although my oldest is 12 and I am a little afraid for what might be around the corner :-) Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThe things I have to look forward to...

Teachers do not teach for the income.
Teachers teach
for the outcome.
Always,
