happy mother's day

this weekend, my sisters, our mother, and i drove up to college station. on the way back, the following conversation occurred:
(sister1, talking over the radio)
mom interjects: stop! stop! your words! they are too harsh! make them soft and gentle.
i smirk: yeah. soft and gentle. (exaggerated voice) like...butterfly kisses.
mom, not getting it: yes yes! like butterfly kisses!
(pause)
sister2 deadpans from the passenger seat: yeah (she turns to face sister1) pollinate me.
mom, still not getting it: yes yes! so beautiful!
