I'm Going To Get In SOOOOOO Much Trouble For This

But I really can't quite resist.

You see, I have this photo of the Cake Eater Mom from when I was a little girl. It was taken in our dining room at our old house while she was working on some sewing project back in the day before she went pro and converted the basement into sewing central. Whomever took this particular photograph caught her completely by surprise. I'm assuming the photographer was Dad, but you never know: we had a surplus of people hanging about in those days.

Now, Mom hates this picture. I know for a fact that she despises this picture. She, I'm sure, thought this picture had disappeared into the ether somewhere. That it had been destroyed or lost or whatever. I sure she thought she was safe from this picture ever being seen again.

Well, not so.

The reason I'm posting a thirty-some-odd-year-old photo of my mother is because it's her birthday today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Don't you wish you had a child like me?

{Insert evil chuckle here}

UPDATE: Hey Mom, did you know you share a birthday with Maggie Thatcher? Cooo-el.
