Flashback...circa 1995...blue dodge caravan...driving home from 5th grade...
"Mom there is a new girl at school and she is in my class and she is so pretty but I haven't talked to her yet and she has long hair and she has highlights in it and she was wearing really cute shoes and her name is Andrea and she is from Mexico and we met her mom and oh my gosh her mom is the prettiest mom I have ever seen." I paused to take a breath.
"The prettiest mom, huh?"
Without hesitating I said, "Yes. The prettiest ever."
"Prettier than me?" The van filled with silence as I thought.
"Well, she is the prettiest mom but you are the funniest."
"That's ok, she can be the prettiest." Mom said without skipping a beat, "I'll be funny for much longer than she will be pretty."

Oh and look at you, still alive to be blogging today and everything!
:)
(My Aunt Mary finding my 2nd class essay about my Aunt Rose being my favourite aunt still makes my cheeks tingle. I wonder does she remember, 33 years later. Lovely, lovely post btw. Minimal but maximal.)
Hopefully Aunt Mary has forgiven you by now...hard to say though. You might want to bring her some flowers, just in case :)
LOVE this, Cal.
Also... where are you? I miss you.
