Yortsayt II: Dialogue with my Mom
Yortsayt II:
Dialogue with my Mom
"Wear the brown dress
with the trim."
"But it exposes
my chest too much."
"So what? They won't
see your bust."
"But it's sort of
fancy for Yom Kippur."
"People wear all sorts
of things
at those programs.
This looks so nice
on you."
"But Ma, I thought
I should wear something
more dignified."
"Dignified? It is
plenty dignified.
Besides, you're reading
the part I read
for years."
"So you want me
to represent you
in this elaborate
dress?"
"For once in
your life, you'll
be fashionable.
Is that so terrible?"
"Yes, but if you think
I should, I will.
After all, I'm reading
what you read
and following
in your steps."
"Fine."
"Thanks for your help."
"You are welcome."
