Tink - many moons ago, I was working in a nightclub hosting and performing in a drag show. I hid it from my mother - and she got a little suspicious when my boyfriend and I kept cancelling Saturday dinners (because I had to work at the club) so one night she point blank asked. I explained what I was doing, hesitantly, and she said" please pass the catsup".
A few weeks later my phone rang, and it was her. She asked to talk to my BF Gary, and when he hung up he looked at me, said "I am supposed to pick your mom up Saturday night - she is coming to your show".
That Saturday, as I was finishing my make-up in the dressing room - Gary came in to let me know that my mom was in the house. So - I went out to the bar to get a drink, and there she was having a 7&7. I looked at her - she looked at me - she smiled, and I smiled. She sipped her drink, I looked at her again, she smiled - this time I said "Jesus Christ Ma - aren't you even gonna say HI?".
After that night, she was a regular at the club - and brought many of her friends as well!
That was a great relationship.
