My mother is a lot of things but observant isn't always one
of them. Latest Mama Carlson story takes place at Park Meadows mall. We stopped
there today on the way to see my Uncle Brian who lives in Parker. My mom's sole purpose on visiting the mall was to go to one of her favorite stores Soft
Surroundings. This store was filled with all sorts of luxury goods from PJ
gowns fit for a princess to hand made soaps from France. I tried this amazing
lotion that I can actually still smell on my skin right now. Made of pure honey
and lavender, it's called Pre de
Provence Queens Honey Shea Butter if you are interested. I ran over to tell
my mom about it as she was scoping out the jewelry. I had her smell my skin,
made a quick comment concerning the endangerment of bees and soon left her to
try my luck and Anthropology next door. About twenty minutes
later, smelling of honey and sticky as can be, my mom comes to find
me. She proceeds to tell me she was at the cashier when she saw several pumps
labeled "Honey," she figured it was the lotion I had fallen in love
with and started pumping away. She noticed its extreme stickiness and started
rubbing it with more intensity into her skin, figuring it took some manpower to
absorb into her hands. It must have been the horrified look on the cashiers
face, or maybe it was the fact her hands were stuck together, but she quickly
took another look at the label. My mom had just pumped several servings
of honey into her hands and was attempting to rub it into her skin like lotion.
Too embarrassed to explain herself she bolted from the store without looking
back. I'm actually surprised she was that embarrassed considering things like
this happen to her everyday...
