Because Paper Is Too Ephemeral

I glanced over at Mom sitting on the couch this morning and she had a pen in one hand and the other hand held up close to her face. She was writing something but I couldn't see any paper.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Writing," she said.

"On what? Are you writing on your finger?"

"NO!" She held up her left index finger which was tattooed with black ink.

"Well, what's that then?" I asked.

She examined her finger and said, "On further consideration, yes, I am." She tossed the pen aside and said, "Never mind."
