: This is an older sighting
: but I thought I'd post
: it again. A fast-food
: restaurant I frequented
: had a smoking section
: and I always sat there
: even though I don't
: smoke. On one occasion
: an apparent mother and
: daughter were already in
: place when I sat down.
: They had money written
: all over them. Mom was
: in a business suit and
: the girl (she was at
: least sixteen as I would
: later see her drive) was
: wearing the uniform of a
: very prestigious local
: private high school.
: She was not glamorous
: and if I had to describe
: her I'd have said she
: looked more like the
: secretary of the library
: club than the captain of
: the cheerleaders. Wire
: rimmed glasses, very
: bookish. As they
: finished their food, mom
: reached into her purse
: and took out a pack of
: More Menthol 120's,
: placed one to her lips
: and lit it. She sipped
: firmly on it and then
: did something that got
: my attention. She
: offered her daughter a
: cigarette! The girl
: shook her head no,
: reached into the pocket
: of her school blazer and
: took out a pack of
: Newport 100's. Good
: heavens. She flipped up
: the top, extracted a
: cigarette, placed the
: cork filter between her
: lips at which point mom
: flicked her lighter and
: lit her daughter's
: cigarette. The girl's
: cheeks caved in and the
: tip of the Newport
: glowed for what seemed
: like a full five
: seconds. This was
: followed by a deep
: inhale, keeping the
: smoke in her lungs for
: what seemed like another
: five seconds then a
: beautiful plume exhale
: done with her head
: tilted slightly back.
: This girl did not start
: smoking last week. She
: repeated her
: drag/hold/exhale
: sequence several times,
: held the cigarette
: between her lips while
: she read a sheet of
: paper her mother had
: handed her and did some
: talking exhales in
: conversation with her
: mother and in a cell
: phone call with her
: father ("Hi dad.
: Oh, just sitting and
: smoking with Mom").
: Mom was no slouch in
: smoking her More, taking
: very hard drags and
: doing some hands free
: smoking also. As they
: put their cigarettes out
: I thought it was the end
: of the show but Mom lit
: another More and
: teasingly waved the pack
: in her daughter's
: direction. This time
: she took one and Mom
: again did the light-up.
: This beautifully plain
: girl held the More
: between her lips as she
: gathered her food
: wrappers, placed them on
: her tray and walked to
: the trash can. She did
: hot touch the cigarette
: with her fingers until
: she and her mom reached
: their car, one of those
: Mercedes two-seat
: convertibles. Then, she
: just tapped the ash off
: and returned the More to
: her lips as she accepted
: the car keys from her
: mother, got into the
: driver's seat, fastened
: the seat belt and drove
: away. I don't know if
: anyone will agree but I
: thought it was a very
: nice sighting. Comments
: are welcome. Also, I
: hooked on a link to our
: group where Gwen and I
: have some fantasy
: magazine ads posted.

Talk about bad paranting.
