    Feelin’ The Same Way

    “Am I telling this story or would you like to discuss it between yourselves?” I ask, sternly but not really able to keep a straight face.

    “Sorry, carry on T.”

    “At the time Catherine Opie was Eric’s favourite artist and she was at the party. Which I think was the main reason for going. He wanted to take one of her prints, blow it up and hang it on his wall.”

    “You have to understand that Eric was a man who…”

    “Bette, what did I say about not being mean about Eric.”

    “I could be mean about Henry.” replies Bette, brightly.

    “When did we get to a point where we could joke about Henry?”

    “When I fell in love with you all over again.”

    “OK, and on with the story.” urges Angelica, coming closer, preparing for the good part.

    “So Eric goes off and makes his play with Catherine Opie and leaves me with your mother.”

    “Fool.” sniggers Angelica.

    “Quite. Anyway, as you have no doubt heard from your Aunt Alice your ma was a bit of a player in her formative years…”

    “I don’t think our daughter needs to hear about that.” interrupts Bette.

    “But…OK, no, you’re probably right. So I’m left at the tender mercies of your mother and for someone who had the kind of reputation that she had she just made me feel like I was the centre of the universe. No one had ever made me feel that way before.”

    “Good job mama.”

    “Thanks kid.” beams Bette.

    “Somehow we get separated, I think you had to go and deal with some gallery business so I wander around and pretend to look interested in pieces of art that I don’t really understand.”

    “Philistine.” says, Bette under her breath, to which I shoot her a look that says I’m not impressed.

    “That is until I actually stumble across a piece that I actually like. I’m concentrating on this painting and then I feel a warm hand on my back, and I know it’s not Eric.”

    “The dress was kind of low cut at the back.” adds Bette, thinking that she’s being helpful.

    “After I recover from the shot of electricity that’s gone up my back she asks me if I would like to come and sit down as dinner is going to be served…”

    1. 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. =)

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 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’!

    5. 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!

    6. 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.
