So Impossible!
Published Jan 01, 1900
Eating lunch in a crowded restaurant, a friend and I overheard a conversation between two women at the next table. "I don't know what to do with her," one of them confided. "She comes and goes and if I tell her I like to know where she is, she says it's her life and she'll live it as she pleases. She eats junk food and laughs when I point out the benefits of good nutrition." "Sounds exactly like my daughter," my friend murmured. "Why are teenagers so impossible?" "It's a phase they all go through," I replied. Just then the woman's voice came through again. "I never realized a seventy-year-old woman could be so impossible," she lamented. "I just don't know what I'm going to do with my Mother!"
