The Person Who Birthed Me's Birth

Yesterday was my mom's birthday.

This summer when we were both in Chicago, we were on our way home when she peeled into a Jewel Osco parking lot. "We'll just pick up the staples," she said. Five minutes later, this is what we were buying. I made her pose for a picture. This is how I know I wasn't adopted. These are my genes:
"Staples."

And this. This is one of my favorite pictures of her I've ever taken:
The Chicago Diner, waiting on a veggie burger.
Happy birthday, Momma!
