My son came home really late the other night and woke me up!
You see women going through menopause do not sleep well and to interfere with our sleep is a very dangerous thing!
So, young man profusely apologized--- "Flowers mom, I will bring you flowers" ( I am a sucker for flowers, chocolate, large jewels----)
Anyway, I grumpily mumbled "No, not to bother" as I stumbled back to my bedroom.
"Mom", as he came up behind me "You are so gorgeous for almost 50. You look like Penelope Cruz"
AHA! I turned around and hugged him--- "You are one smart boy. Flattery will get you out of more trouble with women than flowers."
Then I happily stumbled back to bed thinking--'hmmm I though I looked more like Demi Moore- but I prefer the Latinos- Cruz, Sophia Loreen, that works for me (don't have the nose) but I still grinned while I feel fast asleep.
Yes, flattery is good!
(Hey, I got to pick the picture- and no I do not look anything like this- but I can dream)
