Mother. . .
Continued from Ps 10
'Marge lives in Boston. And frankly, I don't think
she much cares. Really, I thought I was doing well to get
you in the vicinity of the sink once in a while. I couldn't
really quibble over niceties like toothpaste."
Hm. . . Well, even so, you never did tell me about
laundry detergents. I had to learn about hot, warm, and
cold washes from a total stranger."
"When did you start doing your laundry? I thought
you were saving it up for Christmas."
"Mother, you're just not taking this seriously."
"You really think there's something wrong here?"
'Of course. I mean, we never even wore mother and
daughter look-alike clothes."
"Because they never made jeans in my .size or house
coats in your size."
"And you never let me borrow your jacket to play real
estate agent in."
"I was never a real estate agent ." -
"And you never once told me which brand of coconut
to buy. How am I supposed to make a decent coconut
cake?"
"I ALWAYS thought you hated coconut. Maybe that
was your sister. Do you really want to know which
brand?"
" "Come to think of it, no. I do hate coconut."
Then why "
"Oh, I don't know. The people on TV act like it's the
usual thing, all this stuff. I got to wondering why we
aren't like that. Come to think of it, maybe it wouldn't
be so great after all. I mean, you would never gripe at me
about climbing on rocks and playing by the water and
messing around and then turn around and give me a
Twinkie and pretend that made up for everything, right?"
. "Never."
"And you wouldn't act like making instant oatmeal or
putting frozen cookie dough .on a pan was an act of
supreme self sacrifice, would you?"
"Nope."
"And you wouldn't treat my boyfriend like a leper
with halitosis."
"Probably not." .
"AND YOU would never hug a box of cereal, or play
feelie-meelie with a 10II of bathroom tissue, or go on the
Gong Show dressed as Dolly Parton, would you?"
"Are you kidding? Not even for a ride on the Love
Boat." -
' "And you'd never never ever gd on a game show and
forget my name during the interview segment?"
"Not on yourjintype. Or should I. say stereotype?"
' "HmTT. We may "be in better shape than I thought."
"Thank God. I was just wondering if I could ever begin
to look like Olivia Walton." '

"Oh you do, a little. Around the eyes."
"Sweet talker. Listen, before we spend the rest of this
year s tuition, I think we'd better get off the line. Now .
you re sure you're warm enough ."
"Yes, Mom. I swear to you. But IH put on a
sweater anyway."
