she liked her old housedress

she is wearing a bedraggled housedress blue with enormously large red and yellow mums it is faded now, but really soft, threadbare in spots we surprise her with a new one for her eightieth birthday she overly thanks us with this pink delight but we never see her wear it; she wears the old one when her estate is up for sale there are sixteen boxes with brand new housedresses in them none worn people gave her new ones every year for Christmas and for her birthday but she liked the old one. They buried her in it.
