Like (grand)mother, like (grand)daughter
Young mothers usually reaches a point where they recognize their own mother in themselves. I think that's common. This weekend, however, I turned into my grandma. It took my new friend, Tammy, to help me realize it. Tammy goes to St. Gertrude's. She knows grandma. Now she knows me. We were attending a retreat at church (Example 1.) There were about 40 women there all weekend. We ate a lot, we drank a lot, we had a lot of plastic bottles and cans. It seemed silly not to recycle so I found some bags and separated the cans and bottles (Example 2.) While I was separating the trash Tammy asked me why I brought a crock pot full of soup. I told her because my potatoes were starting to sprout and if I didn't use the mushrooms they need to be thrown out (Example 3.) Tammy said "You're like a little Shirley Maune." I'll take that.
