Writer's Choice: The Good Stuff

The Good Stuff

Why I Like It:  I wrote this Picfic tale to illustrate the difference in thinking between the Greatest Generation and Baby Boomers.  Every mother of all my friends had "special company" items, dishes, glasses and in one instance, a ROOM that was for company only.  This is my response to that nonsense.

Ah, so you completely understand this story! I used to date a guy whose family never used the living room unless company was visiting. I wasn't considered "company" so when I was there I was in the kitchen with the family. They were the first, but not the last, folks I met with a room in their home that the inhabitants of the house were not allowed to be. That was the beginning of my re-thinking my opinion about The Good Stuff.

Yes but I don't like much using those things because I feel they still belong to my aunts, grand-parents and other passed away members of my family. That's stupid because where they are now they certainly don't care about china and crystal or furniture. Anyway the furniture has been burned by a fire years ago and I or others have broken almost all the old crystal glasses. Your aunt Amy was right; I'm not.
