RE: My Favourite Mother || A Weekend FreeWrite
Watching a K-drama --Love it! and this:
His mother had named him after Johnny Cash but of course she had misspelt his name. Perhaps that made him off key by half a note. Perhaps the mother's to be blamed. Isn't it always the mother's fault? Yes. Sad to say. I grew up internalizing this: EVERYTHING is the mother's fault, even though it seemed to me the FATHER was the culprit, the eye of the storm, the lynch pin of all troubled psyches in a house of five daughters/no sons.
Jonny reminds me of Johnny One Note:
Oops. Here is a better version:
Yeah. You may have noticed I didn't comment on the good son, Paul (named for Paul Anka, a name even his mother couldn't misspell), and how he resolves the situation at the end.
NO COMMENT!!
Other than, wow, we have a lot of dark stuff at Freewritehouse. And I used to complain about @negativer. LOL!! (I was still in recovery from @oswago's School House story!)
hahahaha
That is so funny
Thank you for sharing this with me
I think for the longest time I used to think I didn't want to be anything like my Mum, and then when I became a Mum I thought, if only I could be half the mother she was I'd be great at it :D
We do have a lot of dark from the FreeWrites
But funny the people writing them are gems ..... most of them at least... or maybe the dark side is well hidden....;p
Indeed. The nicest people I know write the darkest fiction!
It seems like we all grow up thinking we don't want to be like our parents....and then we become parents. As Mark Twain said, “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
