I try to be a good daughter. I call my mother every morning. I'm relieved if she doesn't answer. (Okay, so maybe I'm not such a good daughter.) This morning I missed her, and she's been having some health issues lately, so I called her as I was leaving the office this evening.
I said, "I missed you this morning." Her response? "Well, I can't stay home all the time."
Excuze me?! If I had spoken to her that way, my cheeks would have been burning from the slap I would have received. Whatever.
(With apologies to Cheryl, who is trying to adjust to her mother's absence.)
