Mother of Posts: Biggest Critic


i've received some good response about my writings about my mother. thanks to all of you who have read, enjoyed, commented, very much appreciate it.

however guess who's been the most vocally unhappy about them: of course, my mother! she has said why a bit: that the subject's not worth writing about, makes her look funny, etc. this is from the woman who used to sing full blast at church even with her teenage son completely embarrassed next to her. a woman who would sing songs like the "Aunt Jemima" song at the slightest suggestion. the woman who always said "the squeaky wheel gets the grease".

in other words somewhat stereotypical Irish: big showboat at first, but when you get "too big for your britches (whatever those are)," "well isn't himself a big butter and egg man!", you should mind your manners. passive aggressive Irish behavior.
