My Mom's Artwork

If you're from a family with a strong sense of humor and the ability to tease one another without hurt feelings, you'll get this.
Lately, I've been wearing my hair full and bushy, and although Mom likes my hair, it's also a source of amusement for her.
One day, she told me that she had a scare by a stranger who suddenly appeared at her door, but she handled it wisely. Turns out it was a wrong address scenario, but it unsettled her at the time. After she told me about it, I said (in my Superwoman voice), "I wish I had been here. I don't appreciate anyone scaring my Mom."
Mom later told my sister, who remarked, "What was Sylvia going to do to the stranger? Beat him with her hair?" Much laughter followed, I'm told.
One of Mom's holiday gifts to me was this work of art she created about the event. The stick figure on the left represents Mom, with her signature hairstyle (we call it a Puff). The figure on the right represents me with all my "weapon" hair. She actually used pipe cleaners to create my hair look! When I unwrapped this artwork at our family gathering, there was laughter everywhere. Mom said she laughed while she created it. I'm putting this Mom artwork on the wall of my study. It's precious.
Family. I thank God for them.
Smiles,
Sylvia

  1. Cute picture. You know I'm on the floor. What are we going to do with her? She is too much but makes our day brighter. You should have seen her after Noon day service was over. She was getting ready to start with me and someone was standing by the door. She caught herself really quick. All she could do was laugh at herself.

    1. Isn't she something else? When I saw her after Noon Prayer, she was trying to tell me something while she pointed at you in your car. She was so tickled, but I got that she was cut off before she could start with you!
