Several readers of Growing Up In Mama’s Club have inquired about my mother. Is she alive? If so, how old is she? Is she still one of Jehovah’s Witnesses? Mama is still alive and in very good health. In fact, she had a significant birthday yesterday. And while she would find it offensive if I called to wish her Happy Birthday, she seemed pleased when I phoned and asked her how it felt to be 86. However, she was quick to remind me that she planned to live forever, it still wasn’t too late for me to join her in the new world, and that with the Bush administration still in  power, Armageddon couldn’t be that far away. I also learned that she does not watch FOX News, as she sees it as biased news reporting.
