I love my Mum dearly, but at times, she is amusing her behaviour towards me. I am the youngest of four children and the only girl, so I am very obviously still the baby in her mind. I will forever be the baby to her no matter how old I get. I am 54 years old, but to my mum, I will always be the little six year old girl that she took to dance classes and loved ABBA so much I even wore socks with ABBA on them. My mum all throughout my childhood would take me to every type of dance class I did from ballet, to tap and ballroom and Rock N Roll. To say she was dedicated to her little dancing queen, being me is an understatement.
My mum must treasure her memories, and I think that Dancing Queen is my Mums favourite ABBA song because of her memories of me. Alas I grew up and loving ABBA is no longer an obsession for me, my interests and likes have matured and changed as I have changed, alrhough I remain obsessed with Neil Finn, much to the amusement of my family and friends.
My Mum bless her soul really does try to make a connection with me her middle aged daughter and many a time now Mum will text me or call me urgently to let me know ABBA are on the television. I find this amusing and sometimes a little frustrating depending on what I am doing at the time. I really do think it would be inappropriate of me to tell her I am busy watching clips on YouTube of Simon Baker as The Mentalist and wishing he was wearing less clothes at the moment so I’m kinda distracted by thst. My regular readers will be aware that watching clips of Simon Baker is my guilty pleasure 🙏🏽 and not something thst I want to share with my mum.
I choose to be flattered that Mum still loves me so much that my past love of ABBA is something she still wants to share with me. I just hope that whenever she reads this 📫 post , she doesn’t have a heart attack disgusted that her daughter watches clips of Simon Baker.
