Mary Worth 1,105

Just one more thing? Geez, if I were Gina's mother I'd have an entire list of things, starting with, "Promise me you'll never cut your ponytail..."

But I'm sure you have your own ideas. If you were Gina's dying mother, what would be the one thing you'd make Gina do to help you find peace?

    "Find Bobby Black! If you need help, seek the advice of a gray-haired hospital volunteer."

    Please take these curtains down. I don't want to die looking at those monstrosities.

    It would be awesome if she started yelling, "AVENGE ME!" like the dad in Red Dawn.

    And my God...could the mom look any more like a ghoul? I hope I at least look kinda cute as I'm about to shed my mortal coil.

    "Find your no-good father and smack him a good one! He's the reason I'm dying in this backwater burg instead of always being happy in our delightful apartment in the Big Apple. Oh, one more thing - purple is not the most flattering color on you, Gina."

    Gina holds Mama Barone's left hand on one side of the bed...

    Gina holds Mama Barone's right hand on the OTHER side of the bed.

    And what's the deal with the back cleavage, Gina?

    One last thing?
    ".... for God's SAKE, Gina - comb out your hair and throw all of those ponytail holders away!!!"

    I think Peggy Olson@7.03a got it in one. Though the rest of the guesses are clever, Moy is NOT clever and so she surely wrote about finding Bobby Black.

    Wouldn't it be great if Bobby Black turned out to BE Jill Black?! The trauma of losing Gina, the love of his life, unhinged him to the point that he changed his identity (and other things). That would shed light on why Jill was jilted at the altar.

    I realize that Moy would never in a million years even think about that kind of plot. Not even for a nanosecond....

    Personally, I'd want Gina to remove that unsightly neck hair.

    But probably her mom wants her forever to react in terror every time someone mentions dodging a bullet. For no particular reason.

    Mama: "Gina, I want you to make something of yourself. Become a waitress at a local diner and run to the bathroom every time you think of me!"

    ''Many years ago, before I met your father, I went to college in a small town... While I was there, I met a man, and we fell in love... He was rich, handsome and smart- but alas, he was nasty. He cheated on me with the town tramp, Abby Evans. We had a bad breakup, so I never saw him again, but Gina...Martin Clark is your REAL father, and last I heard, you have a brother named Kurt! Find him, Gina! Find him and get to know the only family you have left! Oh, and when you make Nana Baroni's pot roast, try easing up on the garlic. That's it!''

    Dave im Parma: Great Seinfeld reference!!! :-p

    KitKat: I had thought the same thing a while back. Remember Jill and her purple boots a-movin'? Maybe those boots were in homage to Gina's tasty purple number today?

    @Maude -- No way! Easing up on the garlic is a mortal sin for us Italians!

    Alternate A: "Mama said she'd always hoped I would marry a nice, young doctor. Mary, you work at a hospital, do you know anyone?"

    Alternate B: "Mama said there'd be days like this; there'd be days like this, Mama said (mama said, mama said)."

    Gina, dear, you should know that years ago I had a fling with Bobby Black's father -- and that Bobby is really your half-brother! That's really why we left town in such a hurry!

    Well, a girl can dream, can't she???

    She's probably thinking about asking Gina to avenge her soul, but we all know, no mother would wish a life of vigilantism on their next-of-kin.
