JUST A TALE ABOUT MOTHER

My mother taught us about other girls; how they look and dress to attract men, with makeup and tight clothing.

I do not paint my face, not because I don’t know how, mainly because I as a child, promised my mother I wouldn’t. As for tight clothes, I like breathing.

My mother had seven girls, when we were children, she asked us to promise her we would not wear makeup. She went on to tell us, if a man does grab us; grab hold of his dick and rip it off. 😶

However…she wore red lipstick?

My mother was always very pretty; so pretty men would advance us kids and ask us, what is your sister’s age and, if we would tell them our sister’s name, and ask her if she would go talk to them. <<<>>>Oh bother. Men.

We would laugh, “she is our mom.” Off we would scamper to tell her. She would blush, making her more beautiful.

The older I became she told me; only whores wear red. 🫣 but she wore red lipstick? I of course, always wondered about that. Hmm. She only wore lipstick, when she went out with her girlfriends.

To this day I cannot administer this makeup to my face. I do not know how; I look like a floozie. 😎 I guess it takes practice.

One day much older, I decided to dress all in red; yes, shoes as well. the face paint wasn’t going to be a problem, lol; not knowing how to wear the stuff. I looked like a street girl, just not standing on the corner. I laughed at myself in the mirror, most certainly looking like my mother’s rendition of a whore. ( nasty word ) shit, I feel bad typing it, I don’t ever use the word, there are a lot of words I do not use. 🤷‍♀️

Well, I drove myself to my mother’s home; my best straight face. That was hard. I knew what I looked like and what she thought of RED.

When I entered her home she was not in the area where she usually was, so I took my time to unpack my stuff and maintain my composure; get the giddiness out of the way, acting normal. 😮‍💨 waiting to shock her.

I figured my mom heard me ruffling around and came to see who was in her home. Me. So, when I figured she was close enough behind me I turned; hey mom. (Don’t laugh, don’t laugh) I kept telling my brain. (Wait, see what she says. 😏 That’s it stay straight faced.)

She said NOTHING!!

WHAT? 🤨 . . .Mom.

She knew me better than my own self. 😒 the scenario was not what I expected. As she said nothing, I said, “mom don’t you care how I’m dressed? I’m wearing all red?”

“I see that.” Was all she said. So, I said. 🤔, “but you said only whores wear Red? I did all this for nothing?”

Her response… “No, you look very pretty, you should be a model.” 😵‍💫 But I saw her smirk as she turned from me. “Mom, I thought you were going to be shocked or something there like that.” Nope, she played it more cool than me. I guess mother knows best, in the end, I probably should have went on to be a model. More money than factory work.Whatever, I washed my face, kept the clothes on; not bringing a change with me.

She laughed later. 🤣 I heard her.

I love my tales about Mother.

Trying
None

I don’t need makeup. I have always seen my good friend in makeup. That is how I met her. The day I saw her without makeup on, was so very confusing to the eyes. lol.

The End.

WHAT IS HAPPINESS

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

Harmony is the other way around for me. I could never get rid of anything for the sake of happiness rather gain something, for the sake of happiness.

Everything I have I cherish right down to the jar of paint sitting on the floor, these are my prize possessions makes me happy to see it still sitting there.

Fly? Even the fly floating dead in my glass kettle puts a smile on my face I got to see it before I drank it. Tiny little fruit fly. He needed water. Well makes me happy he got all the water he needed, floating in the ocean of no return rather my face.

Let me tell you though. For absolute harmony it would be additions. I would need additions for absolute harmony.

I smile at everything in my life whether it’s pesky or that jar of paint on the floor.

I’m surrounded with love, complete harmony. My extended happiness would be addition. And addition to what you may ask, addition to my home a larger home. Space. We need space.

I was given the unexpected honour of taking care of four abandoned children, so the only thing to complete this sake of harmony clearly would be addition to this small home.

Yes, this addition, would be complete harmony.

Oh, but wait a minute . . .As she smiles.

I did however get rid of a husband finding complete harmony. Phew!!!

It seemed like I became blind one day and there after, believing I accidentally married my father? Uncle? Brother? My life was not my life anymore, I lived in fear wanting therapy. 

(Do this, do that,

you can’t do this, you can’t do that?

What do you mean friend? You don’t have friends!) Then things progressed to the bad.

Getting rid of an abusive Bully gave me great harmony. 

ROOMS AND MORE ROOMS

What does your ideal home look like?

So, about an ideal home for me eh. I’ll tell you, there will be rooms and more rooms, with windows in every room, skylights even. I need light.

We will have an art room, paint everywhere of all colours and loads of different sized canvas.

I will also have a sewing room with a couple of mannikins with heads, hands and feet. There would be a very good machine to sew on, with several different fabrics and colours, yes and threads, not forgetting the iron and ironing board. -Maybe two of those.

Oh, we can not for get a music room. A place where I can sing and dance and mess around with my guitar, and recording myself having a blast at creating fun.

I would need a kitchen with a built in oven and a counter top stove. The refrigerator would be one where everything(food)would be easy to get at, none of this moving twenty-five things to reach one item, then you find it rotten. 😳

Of course a BIG bathroom, large enough to accommodate a washer and dryer.

A work out room would be fantastic, especially with a trainer sitting there waiting to help me out.

Then last but not least, a nice sized living room for some visitors if you will, and an upstairs for four or five bedrooms and one more bathroom/laundry room-this way, I don’t have to run linens up and down steps and maybe trip and fall and lay there for hours, days or until found.

Yeah, I could never afford an ideal home, so a home full of grandchildren is ideal for me.

The End.
