he didnt take any pleasure in
calling his mother his parents ignorant
he had respect for them
but respect was a two-way street
they were adults
he was an adult
that was the ground he played on
he had difficulty understanding
why they would hold him to a child a teenagers role
obviously he would always be their
son
but hed been a man longer than he
was ever a child
hell his parents told him the family wouldnt have
been what it was if he wasnt who he was
he was the eldest
he wasnt a child long
particularly not when his father
fell ill several times several months at a time
they didnt know him
they didnt know her
they had been together eight
years
his mother slipped during their
conversation and that spun into when "she"(she didnt have a name she was she or her) when
she got what she wanted out of him shed move along
then he could move along too
he didnt know what she was
talking about to what she alluded
he told her anyone
who hadnt got what they wanted out of another human being likely would have
moved on long before eight years had passed
To put a fine point on it
they have been eight happy years
So what do you think she Im using
your affected nomenclature what do you think shes wants
You know
Sex Because I give her all she can handle
gaspYou should be ashamed of
yourself talking to me like that
Ill
talk to you in the manner you deserve as I would talk to anyone Your parenthood doesnt give you an edge a
pass
YOU KNOW
Who are you Donald Trump broad undisciplined
accusations broad strokes undetailed What
does she want that infuriates you
Oh you know
Enlighten me
Im not having this discussion
Youre not having this discussion
because you cant say You cant say except you know If you know spit it out
Im not having this discussion Ill
hang up if thats what you want
Youll hang up on me
I wanna know what you know is
I called to talk
Ill hang up
You know what you know but you
wont say Evasive mom really ignorant Open your mouth and say Im a big boy
I havent been under your roof in
decades
Ive raised children
Ive mourned my wife
Ive prevailed
What
. . . . . . . . . . she hung up
he laughed made a joke in the silence preceding her hanging up did he
hear her say Beam me up Scotty
he supposed dead air was not only his
mothers utter evasion but her ignorance
he laid the receiver back in its
cradle
