How to Take Pictures of your uncooperative mother:  Trap her while she’s cutting up a ham.

When she gives you that look, the one that says “Get lost or else, and you’d better start listening to me right now!” remind her that you are almost 37 years old, and sympathize with her about how she’s aging, entering that stage of life where she now has to listen to YOU, since she’s heading off toward senility.  Then tease her about how she told you how twelve times how to cook the box of Uncle Ben’s Wild Rice:  boil for five minutes; set for five minutes.

I laughed a lot while minorly  assisting with the preparation for the Thanksgiving meal.

    You don’t ever get to take pictures of me again, whew I look old, sure don’t feel as old as I look here.

    We had a grand time! I started to get the giggles after reading, cook for 5 minutes and then set for 5 minutes. I even got the run down how you were going to cook the rice for 5 minutes and then set it for 5 minutes, just by asking what was soaking in the pot. It also sparked the memory how every dish had a certain bowl and spoon that was to go with it. Oh how she makes me giggle!
