Michael wearing that shirt reminds me of the lyric in Johnny Cashâs âSunday Morning Coming Downâ: then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt.
@Paul M Marion (from yesterday): Our older daughter is Deborah, and we called her Debby. When she was 3 I dropped her off at daycare. Her teacher handed her something and said, âHere you go, Deborah.â Debby responded, âThank you for calling me that.â That night I asked her if she didnât want to be called âDebbyâ any more, and she said yes. I told her to tell her father. She walked up to my husband and said, âIâm not Debby any more.â My husband, thinking she was playing a pretend game, said, âOKâŠwho are you?â She lifted her head proudly and said, âIâm âDeborahâ. Get it right!â Sheâs almost 13 now and the only nickname sheâll accept is Dee.
Wasnât there a famous psychologist or psychiatrist who claimed that everyoneâs problems were the fault of the mother?Not hard to spot a misogynist!
Hey Ellie, there are ways to take care of those pesky facial hair problems at home. Then you wonât give the men in your family reason to fire back at you with those zingers.
Who has the right to criticize whom?Michael was bombarding down the stairs, which are part of a house that was paid for by John and Elly.Michael had unkempt hair, not using combs or toiletries that John and Elly bought him.Michael was wearing a filthy shirt; John and Elly bought the shirt and Elly takes time and effort to clean and press his clothes.
Sorry Michael, you have no right to freshmouth your mother, of whom you are so dependent upon.
I donât buy it (ââŠmy sonâs words, exactly as spokenâ) â no child in history has EVER said âEver neat!â Worst ear for childrenâs dialogue.

I never would dare to speak to my mother that way but she often spoke poorly about my dress or hair. Still, you donât speak that way to your mother.

I donât see Michael criticizing his mother here, I see a little boy who is excited that his mom has something âever neatâ on her upper lip.

Turnabout is fair play, Elly.
