Scope

Frankly, I expected this from my friends, not my mother.

Standing at the doorway, she wore a smile that's an obvious prelude to announcing some exciting news.

"I had my colonoscopy," she said. "They found a polyp and took it out."
Only my mother could seem thrilled about such a procedure.

"Do you want to see?" Before I could say no, she showed me the pictures from her colonoscopy! - Which shows her rectum from the scope's point of view, btw.

Used to my friends showing me their wounds and rashes. Not with my mom.
Evidently, mother has never heard of things being TMI. (Too much information.)

And that is what my mother did on her 30th wedding anniversary.
