next day she came home crying and I asked her what was wrong. She said, " I was
at my friends and I was making pancakes for breakfast and her mom came out
and grabbed the bowl from me and said, " Thats not the way to make pancakes,"
I told Dineen there are 101 ways to make pancakes De, she shouldn't have told
you your way was wrong. As far as I'm concerned there is no right or wrong way
to make them. She stopped crying and felt better after that.
hole burned into the front of her sweatshirt. I said," What happened to your shirt."
She said my cousin and I were playing with hairspray and lighting it on fire like a
blow torch and things just got out of hand. I then proceeded to lecture her on
this dangerous way to play with hairspray and about fire altogether. Not a good
thing but looking back now its one of my memories about mischievious De.
night she came down the stairs holding one hand over the right side of her head
I said, "Whats wrong De do you have a headache." She said, not anymore, I did
have but I don't now. I said, " take your hand down." She took her hand down and
to my astonishment she had lopped off one of her pigtails. I guess the elastic
was to tight and she being so young didn't know how to take it out. I then had
to lop off the other pigtail so she wouldn't be lopsided.
spikes of different colors standing straight up on their heads. Dineen decided
this is what she wanted and asked me, "What do you think mom." I said it was
up to her ( but secretly I hated the idea and was hoping that by agreeing with her
she wouldn't do it} but it didn't work and off she went to the hairdressers to get it
done. When she arrived home it was all I could do to stop myself from laughing
as it was quite bizarre, different colored spikes, green, orange, blue standing
straight up on her head. She told me when she was at the hairdressers, and
the hairdresser spun her chair around to let her out there were three women
sitting there and they all started laughing when they saw her. She was so
serious when she asked, " What do you think they were laughing at mom".
I just said, "I don't know." Thank God it was too hard for her to spike up
everyday, so after a week it went back to normal.
We were at my sister Max's, my brother Bill was there and she challenged him
saying she could put him on the ground, so outside they went and her so sure
of herself. In the blink of an eye Bill had her on the ground and she was so
flabergasted that she wasn't able to put him down.
christmas concert, I sewed her an angel costume all in white, trimmed in a gold
Christmas tree streamer, with a little gold halo, and large flapping wings, trimmed
in gold also, she was so delighted with it, the costume, that she put it on and was
flapping her angel wings all over the place. Those were happier days I wish I
could bring back.
a white stuffed bear as I never had one, a white wicker book stand, a cake,
and several other gifts, altogether it cost her a lot of money. At this time
Dineen only had a part-time job at the Burger King and didn't make a lot of
money and she spent most of her check on my birthday. She said she wanted
mom's birthday to be special and it was because of De.
