"Ordinary" was the worst word my mother could find for anything. I remember her taking me shopping and
taking no notice of the shop assistants when they suggested that some dress or pair of shoes was very popular-
"We've sold fifty already this week". That was all she needed to hear. "No", she would say, "We're not interested
in that. Haven't you got something a little more unusual?" And then the assistant would bring out all the strange
colors no one else would buy. And later she and I would argue because I wanted to be ordinary but my mother
wanted to be unusual. "I can' t stand that haircut," she said, when I went to the hairdresser with my friend and
came back with a boy haircut, "It's so terribly ordinary." Not ugly, not unsuitable. But ordinary. "Couldn't you
please wear something else?" I asked one day when she was dressing for Parents' Day in tight-fitting bullfighter's
pants and a bright pink sweater. "What's wrong with what I'm wearing? What wasn't wrong with it!" "It's just
that I wish you'd wear something ordinary," I said "something that people won't laugh at. "She looked at me
angrily and then said, "Are you ashamed of your own mother? If you are, Isadora, I feel sorry for you. I really
do." |
