6. No Shame

An older woman at my table asked me what my mother must think about my tattoos, and I said, “Well, my father doesn’t mind.”
She didn’t take the hint (I guess it wasn’t a very good hint) and asked, “Well what about your mother?” To which I replied, “She’s dead. She doesn’t do a lot of thinking.”
Did she stop there? No.
She said, “Did she die of SHAME?” I just said, “No, breast cancer” and dropped the check.
They weren’t done eating, but her guests looked like they wanted to leave.
