Old Bird's Day

Today is the birthday of my grandmother

both my paternal and maternal grandmothers that is.

No, there will be no huge 'joint' celebration

my parents are divorced

and both sides don't mix

so yes,

today is the day Aja runs around ala headless chicken

and splits her time.

Anyways, off I went to the florist this morning

to get them a bouquet of flowers each

"What for?" said crabby daddy

when I told him my plans.

"Well because they've both been widowed so long..

when was the last time someone gave them flowers?

All women love flowers!"

I explained happily

"Hmmph", he huffed

"Well, the only time she's gonna get flowers is you-know-when"

:o

does that give you a clear impression of

daddy's love-hate relationship with his mother?
