Embarrasing Moments
In 2002 shortly after my mom moved to California, we went to watch a taping of the daytime show "The Other Half," hosted by Dick Clark & Danny Bonaduce. One of the questions posed to the audience was, "Has your mom ever embarrassed you?" Well, you know I couldn't let that one go, so here you see a photo of Danny Bonaduce listening to my story while my mom laughed....
One time when my mom was on a plane returning to Florida from a California vacation, I received a phone call from the airplane phone. Yes, this was before cell phones! My mom was excitedly chatting away about this new adventure of talking 5 miles high when I noticed the voice changed to an unfamiliar one who was telling me all about my photos...what?! Everyone reading this knows my mom made a friend out of everyone she met, and here, just moments on a plane, had not only made this friend with the woman seated next to her, but had also shared her (and my) life stories as well as photos. A total stranger was going on and on about pictures of me but then I shifted gears, and told Danny about other photos...not the typical ones on a bear skin rug (you know this animal lover wouldn't have that), but ones I found in my adult years that parents tend to think are cute but embarass the heck out of you -- me gardening in the nude!
Hope you're smiling today mom with daddy by your side up above the clouds somewhere higher than 5 miles up! XO
