Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for May 24, 2020

Could happen maybe.

I know some one like that. She’s 57 and still looking for Mr Rich

all for the money, huh, Holly?

She’s always been selfish.

Teenage girl! – she (and most kids her age) should have a stamp on their forehead, saying “OUT OF ORDER”.

Holly’s half right, only that latter word will begin with a “b”!

I asked my daughters that same question. Eldest looked at me as if I’d taken leave of my senses. “Momma, I’m seven. I don’t need to think about that!” Middle daughter told me she was going to be a nun and have six children. Youngest wasn’t around yet.

“In my dream, I had a plan, that I would marry a wealthy man. I wouldn’t have to work at all, I’d lie around and have a ball.” ~ Abba, “Money, Money, Money”

My 2 “kids” (in their 40’s) are so different, I find it hard to believe I birthed them both, but they have different birth fathers, so I blame it on them.

Now how is she going to get the Kardashians to adopt her???

She didn’t say she was going to marry rich.

Well – beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but you should start working on the rich portion on your own, Holly.

2 different girls same parents.

Hey, a plan is a plan!

My (only) son has turned into a caring, functional adult. Which is better than I sometimes feared, but not quite up to what I sometimes hoped.

Holly is less delusional than a guy I worked with phone soliciting 40 years ago, who said “ I fully expect to be a millionaire in a year”. Yeah, minimum wage will make you a millionaire…..

My sister and I (both in our 60s now) are as different as night and day and we both had the same parents. It is interesting to see the differences. We have fun talking about it. She is an extrovert, I am an introvert. She is a type A, I am a type “z” (as opposite a type a as you can get). She is thin and aggressively goes after everything related to her health. I am not (although I have lost a lot of weight) and don’t really – but I do keep up with dr. appts. and vaccinations. She has 3 daughters and 6 grand kids. I have 1 daughter and no interest in grand kids – which is fine with my daughter as she has no interest in kids! My sister has been married 4 times and divorced 3. I have been married once for almost 36 years and am now a widow. Like I said, quite different. :o)
