Mother Knew Best (2015)
“How to begin? I’d never had a boy-friend, never been kissed, except by the baggy-eyed young man, and that wasn’t kissing. Marjorie began my coming-out by taking me to a party. Here I sat in the corner, not even being called upon with a letter in Postman’s Knock; one of the girls received a parcel. In the opposite corner was a young man who was the nearest thing to a frog I had ever seen, it would have needed more than a princess’s kiss to change him, I thought. In a game of forfeits he came to ...me and paid his forfeit with a kiss. I had come out. He saw me home and, it was obvious to me I would do no better at my great age. I arranged to meet him the following week-end. Mother was pleased, for the young man had been to grammar school and his parents owned a flourishing business. When my brothers said the whole family were frogs, Mother chided them and said that a person’s character was the important thing not his looks. I agreed with her, but when my father burst out laughing, having heard of my conquest, I knew I’d rather be an old maid, and I cancelled my date with the prince in disguise.MoreLess
