How our kids see us

Yesterday, while cleaning things out, I ran across something Jeff wrote about me years and years ago.  Hmmm. Is this an accurate description of me?  

 

PROFILE - MOTHER

  As she sits on the couch in her blue jeans and pink sweater, Mom is looking through gardening catalog, scribbling and erasing repeatedly. With her mouth twisted up in a lopsided/pucker/frown, her constantly moving eyes scan the pages for more gardening tips and products. Discretely (perhaps unconsciously) she itches her nose and puckers again. 

Mom is different. If static electricity plagues the morning hair combing routine, she will merely put her head in front of a humidifier/vaporizer to bring the uncooperative hairs under control. She is not really weird, but not exactly normal, either.
