Maybe because they were Boston women who had style!

In fact, as I got older he and I took a day before Christmas and bought all my mom's gifts together. I suppose he knew that he didn't have that knack. Plus, mom made a fairly specific list of what she wanted... indicating she didn't trust me a whole lot either! <br /><br />I think it's sweet he thought of you guys at all as he hustled through that store.
