faux tributes

This Sunday we visited the family, somewhat smoothly, but we had a laugh at the new decorations–which are ridiculous and have become increasingly offensive. Now it’s an American Indian tribute, Freed Spirit, internet inspired, a mural on the wall facing the dining room: “because we think it’s cute.” The place has turned into a serious yard sale from my mom’s continuous accumulation of junk by the truckloads. Shame, shame on the family name. Nothing else to do now but put the headdress on.
