For Bob

Green hasn't ever been my favorite color. When I was a kid green was my mother's favorite. I remember that that was SO important to me - it was like I had some kind of concrete information about my mom. Some insight into her psyche. Some handle on how she worked. My mother has always been kind of a mystery to me. I wonder if that's true of all mothers and daughters.

Even though green isn't my favorite, there are plenty of outstanding green things. Here are a few:

Green... can...make... life...

swell.
Emeralds. Green lights. Tomatillos for green salsa. Money. The cool pattern of baseball park grass.

    Green is my favorite.

    And yes, that is true of all mothers and daughters.

    Yum Tomatillos!

    You can always ask me anything, my darling girl. I don't mean to be a mystery - in fact I thought I was more like an open book.

    I forgot that green was your Mother's favorite color. Thanks for the reminder. As a kid, I thought it was so funny that we liked completely opposite colors...green for her, red for me.

    So, Linda, is it still green?

    I still love green. My bedroom is done in various colors of green. However, for clothing and some other things, I have moved to red. --sorry Amy.

    Yes, Karie, mothers are always mysterious to their daughters. If not, the relationship suffers--mothers are not supposed to be "friends", but parents. You know many things about your friends, but your parents are -- well, they're your parents. So, it's true -- you're right, my beautiful Kare-bear.
