A young woman came home for the weekend, ready for hugs, home-cooked meals, and a little nostalgia. While helping her mom in the kitchen, she opened the fridge—and froze.
Taped to the inside of the door was a photo of a slim, radiant young woman in a swimsuit.
“Mom,” she said, squinting at the image, “who’s this?”
Her mom chuckled, stirring the soup. “That’s my motivation picture. Reminds me not to overeat.”
The daughter raised an eyebrow. “Well… is it working?”
Mom sighed, glancing toward the living room. “Yes and no. I’ve lost 15 pounds… but your dad’s gained 20.”
