Good morning! And Happy Friday!
Rick and I were talking about our mothers, exchanging stories about them and shaking our heads.
My mother had a habit of using a full sink of water and dish soap to wash one coffee mug. It used to make me crazy. She couldn't go to bed if there was a fork in the kitchen sink. Everything had to be washed, dried, and put away. When we were kids, Mom also washed our swing-set down with Lysol. Every single week. She had a dryer, but she always hung clothes outside to dry. It could be below freezing outside, but she'd go out and hang clothes. Rick's mother did the same thing. Me, I'm lazy.....I use the dryer.
Rick said that he could tell what day of the week it was just by what his mom made for dinner. Pot roast was always on Monday, roast chicken on Tuesday, and so on. He said it never changed when he was growing up.
What were some of your mom's habits that used to or that make you chuckle? What does she or did she do that just made your shake your head? I don't mean this to be negative, just maybe to share some humorous stories.
