Catharsis

Dear mother believes nothing rids one of stress more than a good old fashioned cry, which makes sense considering her favorite movies include The Notebook, Titanic, Steel Magnolias, and Police Academy 4: Citizens On Patrol. We were speaking about this over dinner one night when she proclaimed, "I'm in the mood for a good cry."

We all laughed at Mother's boyfriend's response.

He said, "Gee Honey, if you really wanna cry that bad I can always punch ya in the nose!"




It wasn't funny, however, on the way to the hospital when he turned around in the driver's seat and asked us, "Who's laughing now?"
