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.

Hah, very different generations...My mom got some very nice china and suchlike when she married, and my dad insisted that we only use it for holidays, but then decided that each holiday ranked paper plates and plastic forks (we have large families with small children). When they divorced, Mom kept the "good stuff" and used it each Friday for takeout pizza night. I've drunk Faygo from crystal goblets.
