I slid pizza under the door to keep her alive, God knows why. After one particularly unpleasant night, I called my Mom, crying & describing the terrible life my daughter had created for me.

The Mommy Curse actually works. If you don't believe me, ask my now grown daughter with a wee one of her own. Cling to that knowledge like a drowning woman clinging to a life preserver.

My mother-in-law still sings in a loud, operatic style through the house. And she encourages her Sheltie to join her. Once these habits form, they are impossible to break. Well, maybe you could break the habit if you had a lobotomy.<BR/>3) Your mother was very wise to space her <B>two</B> daughters so close together.<BR/>4) Good thing for us that you were not so wise as your mother.
