My mother didn’t like the avocado green stove. Avocado was not her favorite color.

When we moved to Marinette, the house had a new avocado green stove. Mother screamed. She hated the stove only because it was green. The refrigerator was white, and there was no dishwasher. You would think she would complain about having no dishwasher, but that wasn’t the case. She didn’t need one. She already made my father do the dishes.

Mother refused to cook on a green stove and demanded a different color. My father said as long as that one works, he’s not buying a new stove.

The next day my father came home and found the green stove on the basement floor broken in pieces. Mother pushed it down the steps, all by her own power. Surprising since she often claimed she was too tired to cook. A few days later, a new stove was delivered to our house, and it wasn’t avocado green.

By the way, that woman in the above photo is not my mother. You can tell because she is smiling.
