Junior Goddess has tagged her buds for a Mama MeMe. My mother was not into girly things - the only hairstyle advice I remember was "Get your hair out of your eyes!" about my bangs. And she *definitely* didn't do makeup.
When I was in high school in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Mom was a cashier at the huge motel and truck stop at Holding's Little America. A manager who liked Mom a lot suggested that Mom should wear a little makeup, at least some lipstick. So Mom and I went to Woolworth's. She hunted around in the bargain bin and came up with a tube of really dark red. Now Mom is a pale-skinned woman, with dark blonde/light brown hair, so dark red was *not* a becoming color. Regardless, she wore the lipstick to work, and she got her way. Her supervisor said, "Mmm. Maybe no lipstick is OK for you."

"Well kiss my Grits", as another, albeit fictional, waitress was known to say. I got a huge kick out of your mother's approach to negotiation! Now I have to go check out the meme.

Mama didn't take any grief! How funny! You know I went to junior high 60 miles away from you, right?
