Mother's Day


It is Mother's Day and I will celebrate with dear old M.O.M.  I must get some flowers to her in just a bit, then tonight I will make her dinner.  Q sent over a bottle of Domain Paul Autard Cotes du Rhone for her because I enjoyed it so much when he was here and my mother enjoyed drinking the other wonderful wines he brought when we all had dinner on Easter.  I have shown great restraint in not opening the bottle already.

Many of the women I know have no children.  Like me, they get nothing.  We should have our own day, I think, when everyone must celebrate our independence and gifts to the planet.  Most of the non-breeders I know have more liberal ideologies than my friends who have children.  BIG GENERALIZATION, I understand.  Unsupportable.  Let me go further down this forsaken path. The liberal parents I know have been disasters as such.  Their kids grew up to be degenerates of every sort.  O.K.  I'm pissing a lot of people off right now.  Just sayin'.  But caring for children puts the governor on your craziness.  Not simply having them as my ex-friend Marlon did, but parenting them.  I think I wanted kids at some point.  I try to think of what they would be like, but I can only really imagine what I would be like.

I need to quit this now.  I am even pissing myself off.

Who knows if my mother is glad she had a child.  I know she wishes she had more, so maybe I am not the dream child I would like to imagine.  Since children are like their parents, though, what she might not like in me is something I could say about her as well.  Maybe I should send her that in a card.

Mothers and daughters.  That is the most dangerous relationship in the world, right?

What do I know about any of it.  Here is a picture of mom and lass.  It says what I intended to say.  I sent the mother a beautiful card.
