There is no picture today since I have not been well, but I wish you to read the following email I sent to my children. It is not based on a true story, it is a true story.
Hello, my children
I just wanted you to know that last Thursday,
the Ebb Tide Gallery had a day long promotion "Girls Night Out," part of
a city wide promotion in Gig Harbor to get people to shop locally. Mom
had some knitted items there under "Krissie Knits," for whom Mom works
as an independent contractor.
Krissie, is, of course, Kris Jenott.
It seems "Girls Night Out" was wildly successful. Though Mom's things were on display only a few days,
Kris texted her that evening to let Mom know she had sold $75.00 of
knitting. Kris then said I had also sold a bookmark, which will net me
around $2.35. Did I mention that her things were there only a few days?
Did I tell that my year's net income at the gallery only slightly
exceeds $75.00? Is this what they mean by passive-aggressive, as Mom
silently knits with Sadie by her side and the needles click "in your
face, in your face, in your face"?
Just wanted you to know.
Love, Dad
