Rose: Did you hang your new mirror?
Me: Yes.
Rose: Where did you hang it? Above your sofa or someplace else?
Me: In the entry.
Rose: In the entry? {said with shock + disdain}
Me: Yes. It looks pretty there, and you can look at yourself when you walk out the front door.
Rose: Boy, that's really narcissistic. You have to see how you look from the time you get up in the morning to the night.
She's a pistol. I. Love. Her.
Wasn't she pretty? + yes, that little tot is yours truly. I had a ginormous head.
+ according to Rose, I still do.

Hysterical! I adore old people. Not only because they should be worshiped for all they've learned in their lives, but because they just tell it how it is. Please don't tell Aunt Rosie that I'm also going to hang a mirror in my entry. Happy Birthday, Aunt Rosie!

ReplyDeleteShe's great! Happy Birthday Aunt Rose!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I hope Aunt Rose had a great birthday! LOVE the mirrors!
ReplyDeleteFunny..your Aunt Rose sounds awesome! I have the Wisteria mirror #6 and LOVE it!! If anyone is looking for sunburst mirror, it's so perfect. It's not really as gold as it looks online, it's more of an antique finish.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Happy birthday to Aunt Rose!
