Tuey is a great defender of my good name. I was at my sister's house for dinner recently and she and I had both talked to our mom on the phone earlier that day.
MBC: What did mom tell you that she didn't tell me?
Sister: She told me that you're bad.
MBC: Really? Because she told me that you're bad.
Sister: Yes, well, but you really are bad.
Tuey: No! Aunt! You. are. a goodie. [accompanied by vigorous head nods]
Except, today, I am a baddie. Tomorrow is my mom's birthday and her birthday card is still not in the mail. Curses! She's such a nice mama, too. She deserves an on-time birthday card from her favorite child.
Happy Birthday, Mom!
p.s. I just noticed this evening that the Christmas lights on the trees in town are still up. Hurray!
p.p.s. Tonight on my way home from work, I drove through this very brief, foggy patch of road. I think it was a haint.

January 16th is a good day to be born!
My Mom's birthday is the 16th as well. That's so funny. And yes, you are a goodie.
Alice-Thank you!
Ann-Marie-Why, yes it is. Happy Birthday!
Yankee Girl-That is funny. I hope your mom actually got a b-day card today.
