Tracy, a trusted aide, was in the room getting Mom ready for dinner and bed.
Mom was on the cusp of becoming agitated.
In an attempt to temper Mom's mood, I went on to relay a story to Tracy about one of Mom's favorite TV commercials.
Mom never failed to get weepy over an old Hallmark Cards commercial that actually reminded her of me. It portrayed a teacher walking, "the most beautiful little boy with freckles," down the hall to class. (Her choice of words; not mine.)
So, what was Mom's reaction to my retelling of that story?
"Do you want to make everyone sick?"
Tracy very happily hugged Mom adding, "I love you, Dorothy!"
