Mommy Scissorhands

You would think a bowl of salad wouldn't be such a difficult dish to make. But, if you are my mother, it takes on a life of its own. Entering the kitchen after she has dished up the lettuce, what do I find? Lettuce on the counter. Lettuce on the floor. Lettuce on the stove. Lettuce in the sink. Does she clean it up? Not all of it. I think there's still lettuce on the floor in there. Remember the scene in the Edward Scissorhands movie where he's snipping away and everything's flying everywhere? It's the scene they use for the commercials. Well, that reminds me of mom.
