Honing Her Skills For The Nursing Home


This is what my mother does while she's watching TV. Or sitting at the kitchen table. Or conversing after a backyard BBQ. In this particular instance, she was using a small scissor. Usually, it's a paring knife.

She's a human shredder. This was just the first step. After she cuts the orange rinds into tiny slivers, she cuts the slivers into miniscule bits - each piece measuring approximately 1/16 of an inch. If only I could figure out something to do with the pieces - maybe I'd be able to retire. She claims it's therapeutic. I think it's borderline mental patient.

Well, mental patient until I can figure out how to make a million from it. Then she'll just be a worker getting free therapy.
