OMGoodness!!! That’s funny but not funny. His poor mom. What has happened to the respect parents deserve and are owed/entitled to. He was obviously still acting out on his own fears and self righteousness; and using his mom to protect it all onto. It’s not easy listening to others when one is already struggling in a frame of mind of a perception THEY created. No matter, I love listening to you tell stories. Even if for a moment I need to say a little prayer. These days we just need to continue loving unconditionally and keep our advice to ourselves. Not ALL lessons that need to be learned involve our thoughts and advice. The lesson is ALWAYS LOVE even if we can’t see that. ♥️

Freud would most likely say the core of his issues stem from his mother. Religious folks would say he broke the Commandment, "Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother." I didn't do a commentary or opinion of this event. I can see symbols and the state of the world in this singular occurrence, i.e the golf iron et al. Thank you for commenting. I value your posts! ALWAYS LOVE even if we can't see that is the lesson.

l love to hear your voice and chuckle. I'm still laughing and can see Michael's face with his eyes and mouth wide open. They say , " love makes the world go round", true, but with the state of our world, Regina's humorous telltales add , much needed laughter.

That was my intention when I started my Substack. Comedy is tragedy plus time. (Woody Allen). Glad you like the voice over. This story would be one where I would have told at happy hour at a watering hole but since that ain't happening, this is an alternative.
