Feelin’ The Same Way
“Because Yale can provide the best education a modern woman needs but she will only get out of it what she puts in.”
Bette and I both laugh at Angelica’s earnestness as she says this. Even though she pretends not to listen to us, she obviously does because I’ve heard Bette say this to her on countless occasions. So much for letting Angelica decide on her own.
“I can’t believe I’m letting her go.” I say to Bette, as Angelica is now on the other side of the pool, out of earshot.
“Yes you can. I know it’s hard T, but think about all the amazing opportunities that she is going to have while she’s there. Think about how much we both enjoyed college and how all those experiences shaped us into the people we are today.”
“You’re so rational.”
“Not really, but I know that you’ll need me to lean on and I want to be there for you.”
“Let’s just try and make it through together.”
“What are you two talking about over there?” comes a call from the other side of the pool.
“Not much. What would you like to do tonight?” replies Bette.
“Stay in, get pizza and ice cream and watch a movie.”
“What movie?” I ask.
“The Empire Strikes Back.”
“She is so your daughter.” says Bette, with a roll of her eyes.
“But before we do that…”
“Yes?” I interrupt.
“Just for old times sake mom, tell me the story of how the two of you met.”
One day, a few years ago, Angelica asked us the story of how we met, and in the name of honesty and wanting our daughter to understand how much we love each other we told her. Since then she’s asked us to repeat this story a few times, but I have noticed a pattern. It’s always when she needs some reassurance, so I guess going to college is making her a little more nervous that she is letting on.
Bette and I look at each other and grin like we are the happiest people in the world. We love the fact that our daughter has grown up in a house where she’s seen so much love. Not just from the two of us but she’s been completely spoilt by Shane, Alice and Kit.

So funny and cute! Thanks for this lovely chapter.

Empty Nest will set in and the crying for Angie will be so hard on both Moms . So funny and cute love it/ thanks
Excellent!
Amazing and love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice
Very nice. And I’m blushing at the reference. Thanks, cg.
ROFL This dialogue was too cute and funny! LOVED the tiff_duke “Chandelier” references too. I remember when I went off to college my mom said that when she and dad were driving back home it felt like I had died. I know that’s a pretty dramatic way of putting it, but it’s bound to feel that way to parents who only had 1 child. I think this will hit Bette harder than she’s willing to let on especially after having to work her ass off to get Tina back before the Henry fiasco happened. It didn’t look like you only spent an hour or less on this. =)
This is such a sweet and cute piece. Just love it! Great job.
a few bumps in the road for sure…nice job!
So you are a fan of Star Wars, and Pat Benetar. Remember we must not diss David Bowie or we may be kicked out of the room. This is so cute and very loving. You get to see how happy both Bette and Tina are and how much they love their daughter. Angelica is every bit like her mother’s. I hope that you will continue with this. At least I know that Bette and Tina are together.
Well girl, that was good, a nice variation on the theme. Despite the sadness of the impending seperation, the couple had a nice, easy, sweet way about them. Man, Pat Benetar! That sure conjures a particular time.
cool
This was very sweet. Those three make quite the combo plus one. Thanks.
So glad you decided to post this story, thank you for sharing with us. I hope Ilene is reading and taking notes for the next season.
Love the grown-up Angelica and her mothers reminiscing. The B&T story, even as a vintage saga, holds as much power as ever. Thanks for ‘knocking up the happy fluff’!
Very Sweet! My favorite line: “And then the thing with the earring happened.” shouts Angelica, and I’m quite sure they heard her in the next street. ….. Thanks for the great post!
Sweet. Thank you.
You took every detail from their first meeting and made it so memoriable. Thank you
Absolutely loved this. It was light and fluffy like a wonderful pie crust… and it came with just enough filling and sweet but not TOO sweet. Thanks so much.
