Floor Wax And Kindness

On Christmas Eve, when I was about 14 or 15, I began stripping the old, yellowed wax off of the kitchen floor in the Woodland house as a gift to Norma. I got so into it that I stayed up all night putting coat after coat of new, shiny wax on the floor with the idea that if 2-3 coats were good then 8-10 must be even better!!
Norma never said a word to me about the extra work it would take to redo the floor when the time came. She simply thanked me.

Wow, that is really nice. You are so thoughtful mom. And it was very nice of her to not say anything.
