What a wonderful tribute to Adryana's mom to celebrate her milestone birthday. I beleive the piece to be well-written with many opportunities for laughing out load...which I did literally. The weave of this narrative from present to past to present was done smoothly and professionally. As for Adryana's mom, Gloria, dressing down the cashier, it reminded me of my late mom, Shorty. If a cashier forgot to say "thank you," after Shorty paid her bill, she would say "have you forgotten something". She helped the cashier remember what was forgotten. Young people learn by being taught by older people. Sadly, many young people (and some who are now older) have never been taught about so many basic things, and so now we have our current society. In my quasi-humble opinion, we need more people such as Gloria and Shorty. Happy belated birthday to Gloria!!! May she have many more and may they all be happy!!!
