“I would never do that!” Mary Rose McGill said. “How could
old ladies hide behind quilts and hats and typewriters and,” she flipped
through pages, “and knitting! How could they do that?”
She was looking through the BOOB Girls Calendar, eighteen
months of beautiful, seasoned women.
Marge Aaron lifted her copy and held it open to a page.
“Look at this, girls. She has on an angel hat and is holding a sign that says,
“A clear conscience is the sign of a bad memory.” They stretched in to look and
everyone but Mary Rose laughed.
“How about this one?” Hadley pointed to another month. “She
has on a catcher’s vest, the mask on top of her head and one hand in a baseball
mitt. There’s a sign beside her that says, ‘Color Outside the Lines.’”
“I like the two beautiful African American ladies, one with
the dog and one with the neat pillow and coffee mug,” Robbie said. “She thanks
the ‘Warrior Women’ in her life.”
“But they don’t have clothes on!” Mary Rose squeeked.
“Yes they do!” Marge said. “Just their shoulders are bare. And look at the sisters wrapped in quilts – two sets.”
“Yes they do!” Marge said. “Just their shoulders are bare. And look at the sisters wrapped in quilts – two sets.”
“Are you sure they have clothes on?”
Mary Rose nodded. “There’s one here who looks like me. And
look at the four BOOB Boys.” She finally laughed.
“You know what I like,” Hadley smiled. “I like the funny
national days. Here’s ‘blame someone else day,’ and ‘Winnie the Pooh Day.”
“I’ve got ‘National forget your housework’ day,’ Marge said.
“National hugging day.’ It’s an educational calendar.” She wiggled her eyebrows
like Groucho Marx.
“And all the birthdays are famous women instead of men.”
Robbie added. “Very cool.”
“It’s an 18 month calendar, too,” Robbie continued. She
laughed again. “A bunch of burned out old broads doing an 18 month calendar is
like a 90-year-old buying green bananas.”
“They are beautiful,” Hadley said.
“Robbie and Marge smiled and nodded. “A great gift to shock
your children,” Marge said.
Mary Rose squinted at the picture of Mary, the beautiful
BOOB Girl who looked like her.
“You sure they have clothes on?”
“You sure they have clothes on?”
And yes – it is beautiful, with gorgeous pictures of
seasoned women, funny national days and brilliant colors. My daughter Janet of
Centering Corporation has outdone herself with layout and design.
