That's what I keep saying. Mom would probably let me but Dad says no! And even at 42 I still respect them.
I had to laugh at this. My mom was an Avon lady for 22 yrs. Not just an Avon lady but the top sales person in Illinois and 6 surrounding states. She won stuff all the time. Once she told me to pick what I wanted. I picked an apple shaped glass salad bowl with all the apple shaped serving dishes with it. When it came in and she tried to give it to me Dad said NO. He said, "You girls are taking everything your mom works so hard for." It was a standing joke between mom and I for years. Whenever she'd let me "Borrow" my bowl, dad would make sure I gave "Her" bowl back. Thank you for reminding me of a really good memory.
p.s. I have the set now that they're both gone but it was more enjoyable when my bowl lived at mom's house.
