A picture is worth . . .

Post by DonnaT »

Went to my mom's for a short visit this holiday weekend.

I took my camera with me, to show her some of the video I took in Vegas. I hooked up my camera to her television and, using the remote that came with the camera, played back tapes I took at home and in vegas.

I then flipped it to the still pictures, which showed some some of the flowers in front of my house, as well as some pictures I took while in Vegas.

I had forgot I had some personl pictures on there. Several were of my pinted toe nails. No biggy, but I tried flipping through them real quick.

Next up, several pictures of me seeing how my new glasses looked. My mom asked, "who is that?"

I responded, "That's me :oops: ," and again tried going past them fast.

She remarked, "That was not!"

Later, I took the camera off the Television and handed it to her with this picture displayed, and asked, "Don't you recognize her?"

She put her reading glasses on, looked at the picture, and guessed at a couple of names on my wife's side of the family.

"Nope," I aswered with each guess, and again said "that's me." She then looked at me, then back at the picture, repeated it a couple more times, and finally asked why I was dressed like that.

I told her that it was because I was a crossdresser and had been doing it since I was 10.

And you know what she said? "You should get your upper lip waxed." :mrgreen: Totally accepting what I had told her. =D>

Thank you girls Image

Virginia, I figured she would be OK if I told her, but my wife didn't really want me to, so I held off.

We didn't get into a big discussion over my CDing, and I didn't want to overwhelm her with anything.

I did mention a plan on getting my ears pierced after we come back from Texas this coming weekend, and she thought it was cool. She even told one of my brothers that called that I was planning on getting them pierced.

My wife had said I could, but has since changed her mind, so it won't be happening. :(

I also told her about going out in Vegas. So that was the extent, and enough for me. :mrgreen:

That was a nice post, Donna. Sorry about the no-piercing decision, but it's great about your mother.

Thank you ladies.

I was thinking, my mom tends to rattle on when she gets to talking, nowadays. I hope she doesn't out me to my brothers. :oops:

Hey Donna,

:( But.... but... you said... we'd.... we'd get them pierced at the same time? :(

Do you think she'll change her mind again?

I don't know Beauty, :( I just don't know. Sorry :( She's up and down on my CDing.

So, don't wait on me. :) Get the girls at the TGEA meeting to drag you to a reputable piercer and think of me when you get them done. :mrgreen:

..rofl.. You are too much! :) :) :) That was quite an excellent pun ma'am. :) ..rofl..

I also agree with Darlene that was a very nice picture of you. I'd never guess you weren't female in that photo.
