Showing up the 90-year-old sister

We had extra guests for Thanksgiving, namely, my MIL’s cousin, his wife, their daughter and his wife’s mother, Daisy, from El Salvador. Daisy was simply delightful — an 85-year-old spry woman who doesn’t look a day over 60. When Daisy spied my fancy schmancy napkin folding (I went with The Rose) she insisted I teach her how. She folded alongside me until she got the hang of it, then practiced a few times on her own. She wanted to be sure to get it right, she said, so she could “show up” her 90-year-old sister.
