Straight from the pages of Shirley Maclaine in "Terms of Endearment!"
Shoshana is newly-married and living in Israel now. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, cell phones, Facebook, Skype, etc., she and her Mother speak MULTIPLE times a day. I used to marvel when someone called me from overseas to place an order, but it seems now as if I'm getting calls two or three times a week from someone in Australia, Dubai, the United Kingdom....or Israel!
Shoshana and her Mom, Dena, have a very special relationship. It seems they are best friends, as well as Mother/Daughter. Mom is in New York, working as a property manager for a co-op on the Upper East Side. Mom is also very hip, young, and attractive...and a ball of energy. She lights up a room with her enthusiasm.
Dena loves working out, a good glass of wine, Eminem, and men in uniform, like firemen (Why didn't you order the singing fireman, Shoshana?)
They do/did everything together; watch "General Hospital", "So You Think You Can Dance?"
I was dispatched to deliver a song, dressed in tuxedo to Dena on the job, stopping first at a Barnes and Noble around the corner to pick up a copy of Sam McBratney's "Guess How Much I Love You?"
In the movie, "Terms of Endearment," one of that movie's iconic moments was when Shirley climbs into her daughter's crib. The audience howled in either recognition of a simpatico moment or at the absurdity of it.
But how many of you have saved your daughter's first diaper?
"Of memories, I'm sure there is none riper
Than having to save your daughter's first diaper"
