    Feelin’ The Same Way

    “And then the thing with the earring happened.” shouts Angelica, and I’m quite sure they heard her in the next street.

    “Why am I telling you this story if you already know the end?”

    “Because it’s like all the great movies, you know what’s going to happen at the end before the movie has even started.”

    “Did you know that Darth Vader was Luke’s father?” I challenge.

    “OK, not the first time, but what about Titanic? I knew what was going to happen at the end of that movie.”

    “Only Titanic wasn’t a great movie, it was…”

    “Don’t get her started Angel.” interjects Bette.

    “You two are a bad influence on me. Where was I?”

    “The earring.” replies Bette.

    “Ah yes, the earring. My earring had fallen out and had got caught up in my hair. Fortunately your ma notices and retrieves it for me. Then it gets a bit unclear, because I still think that you gave it back to me.”

    “I did.”

    “But somehow, I still manage to leave it behind at the gallery.”

    “Not somehow, on purpose.” says Bette, triumphantly.

    “You don’t know that for sure.”

    “I know that I ask this every time but inquiring minds need to know. Did you leave the earring on purpose?” asks Angelica, beseechingly.

    “That’s for me to know and for you to find out.” I laugh.

    “So what with the earring being left behind your mom has to come back and get it.”

    “It’s late by the time I go to the gallery for the second time, I’ve changed out of my dress and…”

    “The jeans, I’m telling you Angel, you should have seen her in these jeans. It was almost immoral.”

    “Therapy mother, it costs a lot of money.”

    “So, anyway, when your mother takes the earring out of the envelope that she’s stored it in she makes to hand it over, but it’s just a ruse because…”

    “She takes your hand and then you kiss.” finishes off Angelica with a smile.

    “Yes.” I reply.

    “No.” says Bette, immediately afterwards.

    “What?” say Angelica and I at the same time, wondering what Bette is talking about.

    “That wasn’t quite how it happened. I took you hand and then I leaned into kiss you, and once you’d recovered from your rabbit caught in the headlights moment, you kissed me back. It was the sweetest kiss you could ever imagine.”

    “Tongues?” asks Angel, laughing.

    “Therapy, it costs a lot of money, money which your mother and I are going to use to go to Europe once your safely ensconced at college.

    “I thought that money was my college fund.”

    “No, this is the spend the kid’s inheritance fund.”

    “So you fell in love and lived happily ever after.”

    “There were a few bumps in the road, but yeah, I guess you could say that.” I reply.

    “And the moral of the story is?”

    “Love conquers all?” says Angelica.

    “No, the moral of the story is…”

    “Angel, the moral of the story is that when you find something that’s worth holding onto, don’t let go for anything or anyone.” I say, and not just for my daughter’s benefit.

    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.
