GRACIOUS GOODNESS

My friend Mona Lisa swears that the following story is true.

Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement, not even her parent's nasty divorce.

Her mother had found the perfect dress to wear, and would be the best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new, young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother.

Jennifer asked her stepmother to exchange the dress, but she refused.

"Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it!", she replied.

Jennifer told her mother, who graciously said, "Never mind, sweetheart. I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day."

A few days later, they went shopping, and they did find another gorgeous dress for her mother. When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, "Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it."

Her mother replied, "Oh, I'll find somewhere special to wear it."

She wore it to the rehearsal dinner, the night BEFORE the wedding!
