The Invalid

By Renae Brumbaugh

 

I’m a big chicken when it comes to my mother. Don’t get me wrong. She’s a wonderful lady. She’s my biggest cheerleader, my best friend. But still. She scares me sometimes. Not that she’s scary. It’s just that when she gets that tone and gives that look, I still feel like I need to jump to obey her. Don’t ask me what tone or what look. You know exactly what tone and look I’m talking about. Your mother does thesame thing. Which is why last Monday was a very difficult day for me. You  see, my dear mother had a tooth removed. And my job, my desire, was to take care of her. Part of taking care of her was taking care of all her responsibilities, which included cooking dinner.
