Bragging rights



Mrs. Jacobs, Solomon's mother. How lucky is she? Three grandchildren in one shot. Ever proud, Mrs. Jacobs is a lot like my mom. The sweetest, most kindhearted person in the world. She can't wait to get on the phone and tell her friends about her lovely grand babies. The funniest thing about Mrs. Jacobs is that, like most moms, she believes that every positive trait of the triplets come from her side of the family (including the fact that they are triplets to begin with). Of course it becomes Solomon's duty to politely correct his mom and make her aware that he is an only child. From the expression on his mother's face, she's not trying to hear it. Morgan and Mr. Jacobs, Solomon's dad, casually observe the scene, but both are too smart to get involved. Poor Mrs. Jacobs...she did such an excellent job of raising her son and yet she failed to instill in him the fact that grandmother's reserve the right to brag about anything, whether it is true or not......
