Hysterics

Yesterday we had lunch with Bud's great aunt and uncle. At one point Bud's mom mentioned to her uncle that I like to read a lot - just like him and just like Bud's dad. So then we all chatted for a few minutes about books, book sales where you can pick 40 for 20 dollars, and what books we'd read recently. Then Bud's uncle went on to say how he just doesn't read women writers. You know, they get carried away. Yes. I grabbed my laptop and it just started writing for me. Next thing you know I am writing about flowery topics and womenly problems. I grabbed the smelling salts but it did no good, I couldn't quit writing about love and hormones. Chocolate and adjectives. Babies and ignoring the real issues. No, really, he was sweet. They both were. But stay away from women writers, they will addle the brain.
