Mimmolette Cheese - France

Inheriting The Wackness
The remember-this-for-the-blog-note was written on the back of a "shoe-a-day" mini calendar page (February 2nd, purple pump that even a drag queen wouldn't wear) that is 2 x 2.5 inches.
This is one of the quirks that I inherited from my mom.
It's the why-use-a-pristine-piece-of-paper-when-there-is-some-sort-of-reusable-piece-of-paper-around-here....quirk.
She was green before Al Gore and Bono told us to be green.
She types her notes that accompany magazine/newspaper clippings and comics for the kids on random pieces of paper. The bottom third of a nice piece of paper that someone sent her a letter on. A note pad page from a hotel in Italy or a page-a-day calendar depicting places in Italy that she's been to, with a written or typed note, on the back, indicating the significance of the place on that calendar page.
Grocery lists are written on backs of envelopes and junk mail fliers with enough white space.
I do the same thing.
I wonder if The Boy or The Grrl will inherit this wackness?
I was reminded of another childhood quirk when The Grrl and I played Monopoly last night. When I was her age, I hoarded the money that was distributed at the beginning of the game. I wouldn't buy a property until other people bought up quite a few. I was afraid I would run out of cash. The Grrl bought every property that she landed on until she was down to about $120.
I bought property on every roll until I got to the green ones. The ones before Park Place and the other hoity-toity address. She still had 2x what I had, but I had 3 utilities and made some nice $ when she landed on one.
Maybe she'll get the paper quirk, because she clearly didn't get the Monopoly chicken-shit quirk.
