Reminds me of an incident at our last family reunion weekend (160 people sat down for dinner!) At the Friday evening bbq when I was managing several things at the same time, someone came up to me and asked, "Aren't you buttering the hot dog buns?"

I probably looked a bit like your exploding mother. "Do you have two hands and a heartbeat? I can tell you where to find a knife!" (He was lucky he didn't find it buried in his checked golf shirt.)

My mom was the opposite. If anyone showed up needing a button sewed on, she would have washed it, dried it, ironed it, and sewed on the button. She would have made a cup of tea and served it with a piece of pie while waiting. ‘Served’! It was her way. I’m more of a do it yourself, sew on your own button kind of mom. I was raised on guilt. I’m letting that go. Thank you, Nikki’s mom.
