Where it all began
Most of what I know about Aging Hysterically comes from the person pictured above.
That would be my mother aka Clara aka Dee aka Momala aka MOMmie aka cutest person around aka hilarious.
She was born in 1925. She is 37 years older than me and I am madly in love with her. Seriously, can’t get enough. She is with it, hip, sassy, beautiful, generous, hysterical, artistic, sophisticated, and, thank God, a weirdo.
When the genius musician Prince died on April 21, 2016, nine days before Momala’s 91st birthday, I popped into her house for my daily smooch and she was wearing head to toe purple.
Me: Mom, you’re in all purple today!
Mom: PRINCE just died!!!! What is wrong with you?????!!!
Do I need to say more?
Oh and she loves parties. And men (more on that later).
Of all the streets in Bronxville, fate brought me and my family here so we could, in some small way, be a part of Ms. Dee’s beautiful life story.
Thank you for sharing your mom’s life with us through this blog. She is such a joy to read about. Please keep writing !!
Lots of love,
The Amdo’s across the street.
