Matinee Poster

There was still money in her purse, and her next temptation presented itself in the shape of a matinee poster. Mrs. Sommers eyed the poster, as would an eagle watching it’s pray. In the back of her mind, photographs of her family arose, their smiling faces when she showed them the gifts she had purchased. She then came to a realization, that today she only fostered herself. The pair of silk stockings, the fancy lunch, the boots, magazines and gloves how would she explained the items to her family. Mrs. Sommer’s walked away from the matinee poster, and tears filled her eyes. Consequently, she regained her composure and was silent as a mouse for a moment in which felt like an eternity. She slid her hand inside her purse, and looked over the remaining
funds, just over five dollars. Certainly, she could still purchase a pair of shoes for Janie, percale for her sons, and fabric to make a gown for Mag. Mrs. Sommers inserted the funds back into her purse; while walking towards a shoe shop. Unquestionably, she purchased a pair of brown boots for Janie; in addition to that she also purchased the percale and fabric. The day was coming to a close, Mrs. Sommers realized that even through at first she bought herself gifts; she is not a bad mother. If this were to ever happen again would she follow the same path as today? That was a question she couldn’t answer. Mrs. Sommers signaled for a taxicab and before long it pulled up beside her. She interred it, and smiled, the taxi drove away along with Mrs.Sommers ratification.
