My Mother, in 1980:

“You know, I’ve always said, if you can’t think of anything nice to say about someone, you should say nothing at all.”

“What was the question? Oh yes, what do I think about Reagan.”

She then sipped her coffee in complete silence.

Miss you Mom.

@jetton My Mother, in 1968: "That Nixon guy looks just like a gangster."

Me, in 1972: "Do you remember when you said..."

She was a great judge of character, and I don't think it was about Nixon's *looks*.

@jetton My mom always referred to Bush’s “intelligent design” bullshit as an “oxymoron, emphasis on the moron”.

@jetton mothers teach us manners, it’s one of societies most important roles

your story is endearing

@jetton bless her... Classy, smart, funny, what more can you ask for?

@jetton I lived in California when Reagan was governor and “balanced” the state budget. Smog used to be so bad you could not see the mountains that were 100 miles away. I assumed that Reagan had sold all but one set of mountains that he put on wheels, he moved the smog and mountains around so no one would know how he managed to get rid of the state’s massive deficit.
