Things a Good Mother Doesn't Do

1. Drop the cakes her daughter has baked and iced--almost entirely without adult assistance--ready for a school party the next day onto the dining room floor.

2. Pick them up and--beyond the "Shit!" that nearly gave the game away--say nothing.

[Good thing she's not got into reading lj... yet.]

Heh - it's just what I'd do too :-)

Question is: when, if ever, do I confess?

Did your mother ever confess to you about things like that?

She was a lapsed Catholic: confession was very much the style.

When she admits (to you) she's done the same to her daughter.
