Vanity thy name is Mom

Pre-facial

Mom: “I look old.”
Me: Sure, you look 65 (78 in her next birthday).


Me: Mom is there anything else we need to do to prepare for that wedding?
Mom: No, I’ve got my outfit, your dad and brothers are fine for clothes too.
Me: OK, did you want to get a facial before it?
Mom: No. 
Me: Ok, I’ll just schedule one for me.
Mom: Um, you’re going? I want one too, get me in with you.

Me: My mom wants to look younger, can you make her look 35?
Sanly the aethetician: Well then you should get a collagen facial.
Mom: OK
Sanly: Grace, I have not seen you for a couple of years, you need to come in more often.
Me: I know but it’s a matter of economics.
Mom: So how often should I get a facial?
Sanly: A collagen facial should be every quarter. You can get moisturizing facials in between.
Mom: Gracie, we could do that.
Me: Mom, I’m not getting in trouble with Dad over facials.
Mom: Your dad will be OK with it. It’s for me; I need it and makes me feel better.
Me: I’ll be glad to drive you. 
Mom: You have to have something. 
Me: So Dad takes care of his girls?

Mom: Of course.
