Flashback: Mortified by Mom, moment #83

Mom, Friendly A-bay waitress extraordinaire, spies a familiar face sitting at the counter. She chats with the teen, commenting that she knows him from somewhere.

Did she say, "We are both from Medway!"
No.

Did she say, "You attend the same school as my daughters."
No.

Did she say, "My daughter Eileen has a picture of you on her bureau!"
Yes! Yes, she did.

She told Charlie, my secret crush, that her dorky daughter had sniped a photo of him and placed it bedside.

Within days, Charlie's sister presented me with a framed, autographed 8x10. I could have died of embarrassment.
