My hubby and I just heard this great old joke in the movie, Belfast. Super movie, by the way!

“But I’m a Mother!”
Twenty-four-year-old me delivered that line with as much indignation as I could muster. I was at the ticket counter to see a movie, “Easy Rider,” which had just opened. It had a restrictive rating – only those who were 18+ years old could see it.
