Edith, My Avatar

As I grow older, I look more like my mother. I act more like her, too.

This Halloween was a good example. Pulling together a tee shirt and head band from The Party Store with shorts and tights from my own collection, I showed up at Melissa and Alejandro's house dressed as a Ninja Turtle groupie. Sebastian greeted me at the door. Smiling sweetly in recognition and comradeship, he called out: "Mommy, Tia Eileen is a Ninja Turtle!"

Thanks, Mom.
