For mother’s day, a friend told her mom she could pick out whatever she wanted to do.
She chose a spa day.
Yay!
It’s a new spa, (I thought) my friend said. She’s having trouble getting people to go with her.
Why?
It’s Korean. And they don’t have, like, bathrobes or private rooms or anything, she said.
Wait, did you say, new spa or nude?
Nude, she said. It’s a cultural thing.
She told me that one room has baths, and another room just has a bunch of tables where people get treatments.
So you’re going to spend all day Saturday sitting around naked with your mom?
Yes, she said.
Wow. My mom was mad that when she was trying on bathing suits, I wanted to stand outside the dressing room, and tell her what I thought of each one.
You’d go in the dressing room, wouldn’t you? I asked.
Yeah, she said. I would.

I’m secretly jealous of mother-daughter relationships like this. I can only hope that one day my daughter might invite me to the spa for Mother’s Day… love this story!!
This Mother’s Day, we’re going bird watching. And you?

I don’t know. I’ll probably just send her some clothes and jewelry. Maybe a gardenia, she loves gardenias. Haven’t decided yet.
Another friend of mine says she and her mom would do the nude spa “in a heartbeat,” since she and her mom take naked hot tubs together all the time. “We have the same body,” she said. They’re more than Gilmore Girls-close.
