What is it with mothers? I've gone the other way and zipped my lip long ago. Once I did venture to ask, as my mother paused for a longawaited breath, "Did I ask for advice?" Oh, that was not a particularly saliant interjection on my part... no, no. I should have heeded the other lines wherein I keep my big mouth shut. Always a problem when dealing with my mother. Well. We live and learn. I am using "A Modest Proposal" for my lit class.
