Prompt Word: Mother

Unexpected Sunday brunch invitation from an old friend, Jill. We worked together, what, 15 years ago, and she’s at least that much younger than I am. And I am way too old for the trendy part of downtown for Sunday brunch.

It turned out to be a pleasant outing. Older pop music played, but not too loud. Conversations could happen without yelling. It was the type of place that radiated that older customers were welcome.

Then, a discordant synthesizer popped in with an almost A chord. I said, “Ugh, it’s that song by The Police.”

“Oh, Mother”.

“I’m not THAT old.”

Jill just stared at me, shaking her head slowly, showing no appreciation for my pun.
