glimpses of my mother, 30 or so years ago
While designing a pair of earrings together, Mom thinks outloud...
Mom: I love that you read in coffee shops.
Me: ...What?
Mom: I did exactly the same thing when I was your age. It makes me really happy that you do it too.
Later, while talking about relationships...
"When I first met your dad, I called him Mr. Wrong. He eventually convinced me otherwise, but at that point I wasn't looking for anything serious."
