      Almost Impromptu Barbecue

      Or Cassie’s Promise

      This is a work of non-fiction. However, names, characters, and places may have

      been changed to protect the privacy of the individuals written about within the story.

      My youngest daughter, Cassie, works two jobs while attending college full time. She’s on her much needed summer break right now but still not able to get out and enjoy the summer as much as usual because although she doesn’t have to go to classes, she’s still got those two jobs. So she called me one day.

      Mom, I miss getting to see everybody and all my friends are going to barbecues with their families. The first time I have a whole day off, will you have a barbecue and invite the family?

      Well, that’s a tall order but Cassie had soon extracted a promise from me before we hung up. She’s good at that. (I’ve learned to say yes before she wears me down.)

      But remember this all you young mothers out there: Children possess an elephantine memory bank concerning things you say when they feel it is of advantage for them to remember.

      So, a few days passed—promise forgotten—I was busy with all the things life throws at me and several things I’d thrown at myself when I got another phone call.

      I was blissfully unaware that my weekend plans were about to change. It was a Friday night.

      Hey Mom, I’m off Sunday. Do you remember what you promised?

      Suddenly, with a sinking heart, I do. This Sunday?" I ask. Gulp.

      You said you’d have a barbecue and invite everybody.

      You said. After thirty years and five children, I have tried to learn not to promise anything—say anything—or imply anything that I am not willing to have brought back up to me by my children—even years later. Though in the past they might have routinely forgot to bring home important papers from school or forgot what time I told them to be home or forgot to feed the cat—they always remembered what I said if it was something they felt might benefit them sometime
