Mother's Day Tea

They had a Mother's Day Tea at the facility my mom lives at.  They had tea and coffee.  They provided little cucumber, tomato or egg salad sandwiches that were finger food.  There was white cake that tasted like Angel Food but didn't quite have that texture to it.  There were also little petit fours.  I notice those turn up quite a bit.  Someone must really like them.  ;p
All of the mothers who lived there got corsages for the tea.  They got to choose.  Mom finally settled on a pink one with a blue ribbon that matched her shirt.
I was laughing inside.  After the tea one of the other residents asked Mom a question and that got her on a roll. Her usual rant of how her daughter evicted her and took her house, etc.  It goes on for  quite awhile while I am just standing there waiting to take her back to her side of the facility.  Now I'm out of sight line while this is going on.  One of the employees looks at me and says "oh it must be another daughter."  Nope, I'm the only daughter.  So then the employee commented on Mom talking about me like I wasn't even there.  Well she wasn't looking at me and so for that moment I wasn't there.  I was like hey it's all good.  She is talking about me, but not to me.
Then I interrupted and told her I needed to go and everything was absolutely fine.  Too funny sometimes and sometimes we just laugh so we don't cry.
