A Mother's Day Conversation Continued

A couple of hours at a day spa would be cool! Facial, manicure, pedicure, massage.
It would be cool, except she trades for most of those things already! I gave her a facial for her birthday. It cost me $90. $90!
Was it worth it?
She came out and said that it was nice, but that she could have done better.
I guess not.
She has a wide variety of clients that she trades with for tons of different stuff. Hair, nails, massage, laser hair removal, skin resurfacing, life coaching, psychic readings… No joke. And she gets paid cash daily, so she always has cash in her pocket. She buys pretty much anything she wants. So how am I supposed to deal with that?
I think we’re back to using undies in creative ways.
I could make a hat! The all-new (used) UnderHat!
... or a brooch or a pterodactyl!
You know, it’s funny you should mention a pterodactyl. I was just saying the other day, “The world needs more pterodactyls made of unusual materials!” But then, I guess underwear isn’t really all that unusual.
