My mother had a number of admirable characteristics--she just tended to be a wee bit traditional and strong minded.
She was a great reader and culler of information from all sorts of books. On a bad pain day when she was dying she suggested the Home Health Aid that instead of the full bed bath, she have a whore's bath--face, hands, armpits and crotch.
She'd been reading Sue Grafton.
