This is Mary, Ava's Mom. Ava loves her Mom very much but thinks she is a boring boomer, living in a colorless world.24/7/365 making lunches, picking us up from school, doing housework. Rinse repeat. The thing that surprised Ava the most is that her Mom seemed to still be happy...content.
One Saturday, Ava asked her Mom to lunch. Mary immediately smiled and happily accepted the invitation.
Mom, this is my favorite spot - great for people watching
This spot is lovely, Ava.
OH NO, MOM! I THINK THE BODEGA IS GETTING ROBBED!, said Ava.
Just as Ava and her Mom sat down at their table, a suspicious looking guy was coming out of the Bodega.
Hee-Hee-Hee. I'm outta here!
What happened next was COMPLETELY out of this world!
OH NO YOU DON'T! YOU WILL NOT DISRUPT LUNCH WITH MY AVA OR STEAL FROM THESE GOOD PEOPLE!
After that day, Ava never saw her Mom in the same way. While she still did all the Mom things, she had more swagger now. Bye, Bye, Boomer!
