For mama
Today is mama’s birthday! Happy birthday, mama!
To celebrate, we took a family photograph out in the snow. Mama was already wearing the present that papa bought her. (I did not know that mama made her own rules about when to open presents!) It was a Marinac jacket from Lands End. Papa and I were wearing our own Lands End winter outfits. We should have been paid to pose!
I convinced papa to walk out in the cold and snow to get mama some flowers. I thought they would make a nice complement to the “fertilizer” I prepared for her this morning. Papa says that women never fail to appreciate the “dead or dying reproductive parts of a flowering plant”. That said, I wonder what they do with bits from neutered cats and dogs.
I also learned from papa that many women don’t like numbers very much. I am not supposed to ask mama how old she is. Other sensitive numbers include weight, height, dress size, and bank balance! Papa is smarter than I thought… perhaps I will keep him around a bit longer.
