Mother's Day picture

Mom: This was probably the family adoption picture we sent them as part of the application to St. Peter.

 

Me: Well, I don't think they would've returned the photo to you. I think instead you took a bunch of pictures this day, and you chose the best one.

 

Mom: Well, OK, that makes sense.

 

Me: Your hair is longer.

 

Mom: Yeah, I was probably letting it grow.

 

Me: That's rather a fancy get-up you're in, too.

 

Mom: Yeah, it was a very simple brocade dress—one of my favorites—and it had a coat to match.

 

Me: And you're wearing orchids.

 

Mom: Yes, Daddy bought those for me on Mother's Day.

 

Me: And Tommy and Bobby are in their matching Eton suits.

 

Mom: Yes [giggles].
