If a board game, like checkers, was becoming dull or she was losing she would throw out game rules to mix it up. Dillard’s mother dearly loved to fluster people as well. If Mother was ever bored in a situation, she would do something spontaneous to brighten it up. Pulling pranks on random people like that which could have such a nasty effect somehow did not bother her. Mother then walked away with Dillard in hand waiting for the reaction of the female and answer from the male. Mother would point to Dillard and say she was their child. She interrupted their private time by speaking to the male and acting as an ex-girlfriend who had a baby with the guy. One day at a the Highland Park Zoo, Mother walked up to a couple that were holding hands, sitting on a bench. If Mother were to get a call from a wrong number she would hand the phone to Dillard and expect her to act as the intended person who was called. Mother exercised her career with anarchism by always dragging Dillard into her gags and pranks. Molly would crawl, crawl, and crawl while gaining no distance. Mother would walk up behind Molly and step on the drawstrings to get a laugh out of it. When Dillard’s younger sister, Molly, started to crawl, Mother bought her gowns with drawstrings. The quickness of diction and dry sense of humor makes Mother that much more unique and different from other mothers.
