Traveling with my mother is entertainingโฆ.
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.ย
Double-sided with circular lighting,ย you can view your face in natural light. ย As if that’s helpful. It shines a beam into the heavens as though pointing the way to a nightclub grand opening.ย 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…

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

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).

Excellent choice in musical accompaniment. I know because it’s now lodged in my head.
