My mom visited me in NYC last weekend and made lots of friends.
Now, mom is not shy and she believes everyone could use a "hello, how are you?" every now and again. She is perfectly comfortable beaming a friendly "good morning" to the drooling old Polish lady hanging her head out of her second floor window all zombie-like in my neighborhood in Greenpoint. It's just good manners.
She is also comfortable stepping over a bunch of wires at Union Square subway station to sing with a pair of surprised Mexicans, forcing herself on some Santas in Rockefeller Plaza, and demanding a free ride on a man dressed as a reindeer. And why the hell not?!
Moms are awesome. (Except for Jimmy's. She's got snakes for hair and thinks that our 11-year relationship is somehow less legitimate than each of her 27 awful marriages. Anyway......)
There was a Santa convention in town (for real) and Mom invited herself.
Mom never makes such a big deal when I play the lute.
I'm not sure if she told him she was Mrs. Clause, a doe, or a cute elf.
That's the exact same look I used to give her when I was his age!
