this morning #2066.

this morning, i was reminded that i can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. rather rich coming from her, the queen of hostile intent. in my life, i’ve caught way more flies that she has & i’m much younger. was my reply to her question a bit snarky? a bit short? of course. ask a stupid question get a stupid answer. question: have i ever actually been in love? answer: only once but it’s none of her damn business. perhaps i could’ve skipped the “damn” part. still though…what kind of question is that to ask of your middle-aged son? it’s like she believes that i’m incapable of love. c’mon, mom. i’ve been in love plenty of times. i’m chock full of the stuff. it just hasn’t paid off yet. one day it may but if it doesn’t, that’s perfectly ok.
