Yup, and it’s landing in all of the right places!

“No, mother, but then the eyes are one of the first things to go when people get to a certain age.”

It’s because you’re going to be a grandmother

To heck with your mother, pick Frank up off the floor.

Her mom has me thanking God (or the Deity Of Your Choice) for my mom. She didn’t do the criticism once I moved out at 21, but was just happy to see me. I miss her.

And there you have it in a nutshell. The reason Brandy is kind, and can connect and emphasize with people less accomplished, less attractive, or otherwise disadvantaged. Brandy knows from childhood on what it feels like to be demeaned or taken for granted and rather than letting it make her bitter she has learned how not to be like that. She somehow learned to overcome that bad energy, to channel and transform it into being a better person than her mother ever will be.

Only in the right places.
