Cathy: Are you ready, mom? Mom: Almost. Cathy: "Almost" in two minutes, or "almost" in an hour? Mom: Why? Are you ready? Cathy: Almost. Mom: ...Oops. The strap broke on this old purse again. Cathy: Where's the purse I got you for Christmas? Mom: Oh, I couldn't use that! It's too nice! Cathy: You deserve to have nice things, mom. Mom: I know I do. That's why I keep it wrapped in tissue paper in my drawer. It will always stay nice. See? It's right next to the key ring you gave me three years ago, and the pretty compact and makeup brushes....They're all still in their beautiful gift boxes! Mom, if anything ever got ruined, I'd get you another one! Mom: I don't want other ones. I love the ones I already have! Cathy: This is no way to live, Mom! You have to use your things! Get out in the world and use your stuff! Mom: Uh, oh. It started pouring. I hope you brought some boots. Cathy: Are you crazy? I don't want my nice boots to get wet!! ....Oh. Mom: Is there anything so sweet as a mother watching her little flower unfold?
