Mommy can still fix everything

[jethrien]

I'm working on a Ren Faire costume for Chuckro. (Still a little nervous - I don't actually have a pattern, and I'm going off a costume maker's site online. I've already made one major mistake and managed to fix it. We'll see how this comes out.) My sewing machine spontaneously stopped working last night. After rereading the manual, and fiddling, and looking up stuff online, I finally gave up and called my mom. Who, of course, knew how to fix it.

Mommy can still make everything better.

My mom's "Make everything better" skills often revolved around providing food at the right time or yelling at the person who'd made everything wrong (or their supervisor, or their corporate office...). I really need to do the yelling and letter-writing myself these days, but the food's still good.

We all have our ways of being supportive - it's nice to still be needed, whatever that requires.
