ramblings from an arkansas farm girl

Bat Signal

By

My mother's Professional Grade Makeup Mirror

Traveling with my mother is entertaining….

Recently we traveled to Washington DC – my mother, her fifteen pound mirror and me. Heavy and onerous, the mirror nearly flattens the wheels on her rolling luggage. The luggage she cannot lift. 

Double-sided with circular lighting, you can view your face in natural light.  As if that’s helpful. It shines a beam into the heavens as though pointing the way to a nightclub grand opening. I truly expected Batman to appear outside our hotel room window. Professional spa grade, it magnifies pores, hairs, blood, atoms. It could be used to isolate cells, possibly curing cancer. But we have no time for such things.

In between visiting the sites of our nation’s capitol, my mother was busy receiving push notifications on her phone all day and night from her new friends at ChristianMingle.com, an online dating service with daily Bible verses and Christian dating tips…

Me: (asleep) Who is texting you so late?
Momma: Oh I got a flirt!
Me: Huh?
Momma: Oooh and I got a wink too!
Me: Huh?
Momma: From ChristianMingle. A flirt and a wink – that’s what they call possible matches.
Me: What’s the difference?
Momma: Who knows.
Me: Could you send them a bat signal and let them know we are asleep?

Fun, fun!  Really, it is:)

  3. That looks like a scratch on my MIRROR! Oh, No!!

    I now have 20 e-mails on my ICloud account, and I don’t know any of them. Seven new flirts on ChristianMingle, 5 new matches on OurTime, and even a new account from Believe.com. I am being flooded; I am being stalked! I may have to move and change my identify. How does one get into the Witness Protection Program? Mom, theBAT

  5. Your mother is a brave woman – I’d be afraid to look at my face in a mirror like that (or date, but that’s another story).

  9. I always knew there had to be stories about the BAT that were high larious-just never expected so many! Also love the vocabulary (onerous!-Mrs. Key would be so proud)!

  11. I didn’t know CLo had another name? But if it was Gnarls, I would have changed it too! I’m the SLOW one!

  12. LOL!!!…Holy Bat Reflections!!! This is hilarious!!! Your beautiful Mom is a keeper, for sure, and anyone who knows her, loves her to death! And I agree with you, Talya, she does need to start her own blog! Then, I’d have two awesome blogs to read!!!=)

  13. She is hysterical and it’s not intentional, thanks for the laughs BAT and thanks to Talya for sharing it so well.
