(Trust no one, who is not a proven and valued/trusty one or a family member or a long time friend! )
I used to have a coffee cup that read: Trust your Mother but cut the cards!
My mother and her 3 maternal sisters were Bridge Addicts and as widows in their 80’s, they often got together for 2-3 days/evenings of nonstop bridge playing.
Their favorite bridge joke was: “We knew and loved your/our Mother! Now just cut the damn cards!”
A female first cousin, also, in her 80’s was often, the potty break and food break substitute queen.
