‘Nice to Know’ by Ray Cates (Adolphus)

After the doctor visit she knew she would never get as old as her 90-year-old mother.

She would not tell anyone at school.  She would teach five classes of algebra-one until one day, this year, she just fall over, a biology lesson in math, not in the lesson plan.

Meanwhile she would put her collie Jim to sleep and one Wednesday would not show up at the Sleepy Rest Nursing Home to see her smiling mother, who wouldn’t remember she had a daughter, except for someone to smile at on Wednesday.
