My Teeny Tiny Mother

When I was a young woman we had a mother-daughter activity where we were supposed to model our mothers' wedding dresses for a lesson on marriage and temples.  I still remember how embarrassed I was that I couldn't zip my mom's dress up all the way. It was just too tiny! 
 Sitting around chatting last night, my sisters and I got talking about how tiny my mom's wedding dress was and decided to see if it would fit Maren, since she's so little.  Sure enough, it fits her beautifully (although my mom definitely filled the chest out more)! We talked about how maybe she could wear it if it still fits her when she gets married.  Later, Emma and Maren asked if they could see pictures of my wedding dress.  I showed them a picture, complete with the puffiest sleeves they'd ever seen.  Emma looked at it quietly, and then with a worried face said, "Mom, will it hurt your feelings if I don't wear your wedding dress?"   Ouch!  I had a good laugh over that one!
