Copy Cat Marge

Marge had a new bouffant hairdo and Jen liked it So she ran out and had hers done up the same way On Marge it looked elegant, timelessly classy. On Jen not so much. Most of us tried to ignore it. I wore a lettuce leaf mask to church last Sunday. It was not a favorite, but it was dry. Jen demanded to know where I had bought it. She paid twenty dollars extra to have it delivered on Monday. The cost of the mask was only seven dollars. Sal attended our next lunch wearing a piece of bologna on her hat. We oohed and ahhed telling her how inventive it was. Jen wore bologna on her hat for the next five years, trying for the same result. I wish this was an exaggeration I actually toned the truth down a bit so it would be more plausible.

Aw, you have to be kidding us! No one in their right mind would wear "a piece of bologna" on a hat for five years! Really, now, Caren. Really? I want a picture!
