Negativity in motherhood

Don’t suck your thumb. Your teeth will grow crooked.
Old wives’ tales. My mother could have filled a book with all her frustrating beliefs.

Do you think about your mom every day?

I probably do. Actually, it is more thinking about who I think she was than about memories. I was distant from her growing up, didn’t trust her. She was careless and didn’t seem to mind that I wasn’t myself with her.

My daughter asked if she could try one of my cigars, so my wife let her have one and even helped her light it. That completely killed any desire my daughter ever had to smoke for the rest of her life. Poor kid was green for the rest of the day.

You are so lucky she asked for permission.

I’m sure there are lots of things where she didn’t. All part of raising a kid.
