Drawing a Blank


Today my sister and I took my mother out for lunch - her first day using the walker instead of a wheel chair for movement. I have only three things to say about this grand event:

1. Given that it was my sister and myself who were right next to her when she broke her ankle in the first place, this only proves that a mother forgives all sins and places no blame.

2. When my mother couldn't maneuver her way up the curb, a hot, bald and muscular man resembling Billy Blanks offered to carry her up the step. She accepted. He wrapped his arms around her waist, thrust his head under her arm pit, and lifted her gracefully up to the sidewalk. She was elated. I was furious, however, due to my final comment:

3. Where's my camera when I need it?

Actually this proves YOUR mother forgives all sins and places no blame...I know a few who don't live up to this.

As for your mother's knight, excellent!! Consideration lives!

Sounds positively romantic. Well, except for the injured part. And well, the part where you didn't have your camera. And well, to be perfectly honest - that picture is not very romantic. :)

This picture is just too disturbing for words.
