Description

The Bacon Grease Epiphany  |  by J. J. Jonas

While folding socks and repeating familiar household sayings, a woman realizes she has become startlingly like her mother. The slippers, bacon-grease can, over-taped gifts, and inherited habits she once mocked now feel like a welcome continuation of home.

Closet Confessions and a Little Bit of Glitter  |  by J. J. Jonas

Cleaning her adult daughter’s untouched closet, a mother uncovers friendship bracelets, concert stubs, a corsage, an old boyfriend’s hoodie, and the emotional artifacts of adolescence. She preserves most of the collection, grateful for the history it holds and for the daughter who will return tomorrow with children of her own.

The Tupperware War  |  by J. J. Jonas

A daughter attempts to clear her mother’s cabinets of warped containers and mismatched lids, only to discover that every piece of plastic carries a family story. Their organizing battle ends in laughter and a new respect for the humble objects that safeguard memory.
