Last week, Carl made Ellen get real about her Color Magic business plans. And I finally got through those two areas (crystals and Color Magic) that were so connected to my real childhood that they felt impossible to write… Time to switch it up though – I think Ivy should tell us more about her parents.
Want to catch up? You can do so HERE.
Ivy had grown up knowing that her parents weren’t like those of her friends.
The other mothers were so casual. They wore jeans and tennis outfits, while it often seemed like her own mother woke up in a scarf and earrings. She wasn’t sure that Ellen even owned sneakers…if she did, they were probably in the storage room under the boxes of Christmas ornaments and half finished sewing projects.
It was true that Ellen had a far better closet for dress up clothes, but sometimes Ivy wondered if it wouldn’t be too much to ask for her mother to skip the three inch heels at the class trip to the zoo.
Sorry so short – but it’s Spring Break and beautiful outside. My computer time has been short. Hoping for another installment on Friday…

i gotta tell you, that mom is the same mom that goes to so many of the private schools around here. 900 dollar Manolos and they barely know who their own kid is
Aren't you glad Eleanor won't have the same worries as Ivy!
I know I keep saying this about your Friday Fiction, but I think it's really good and I'll keep saying it so you'll keep writing it. :)
And I'm laughing at Jessica's comment!
