Are you sure, or is that just the obvious assumption? It sure looks like what I would expect her mother to look like. Lumpy, frumpy, and loose. No girdle, bra strap sliding down her arm, underpants showing through the dress, no slip, chunk of lunch on her lap, long claw on her thumb, stack of bangles dangling off her wrist, Christmas ornaments hanging from her ears, no pantyhose, posture that would get any normal kid slapped into next week, and a dress two sizes too big.
I thought that was a sleestak from Land of the Lost standing next to her, what with that claw and the green coloration.
The odd part is that most black women of that age, the ones I know, would have been dressed to the nines for such an occasion. Those ladies can dress!
“It sure looks like what I would expect her mother to look like....”
Whew! You’re tough!
