I stole this from a
book I am reading at the moment. I will cite the author and title at
the end for now it is 4:26 in the am on March 1st. Ok here
it goes:
She was writing and
explaining about keys. When she goes off on a tangent about her son,
who had just received plastic handcuffs along with those plastic
keys. Well her son had got himself locked out of the house. She
listened and could hear him having locked himself out of the house
try with his little plastic keys and say “Oh Shit!”
She sat there for a
moment then got up and opened the door. “Honey I have got to stop
saying that word and you should too.” “ I know mom, but do you
know why I said that bad word?” “no, why?” “Because of these
fucking keys!” That cracked me up and took me by surprise it also
made her real, likable and well a bit like me in her view of life and
use of words, humane.
The book is “Bird
By Bird” by Anne Lamott “Some instructions on writing and life”
