I say that I told my mom that I thought that my sister Randy had been maybe a little harsh in the way that she put things.

I was just going to say, feel free to amend or correct anything.

Oh.

All right, but you're a professional psychologist.

Now, don't you think often, don't you think there was a note of hostility in what she said?

Okay, you and I can agree.

And frankly, she's not on the phone.

And if my sister Randy is listening to this bonus episode, please just forgive me.

I didn't mean to.

I guess I did mean to throw you under the bus.

OK, let's keep going.

So, Mom, so the thing I wanted to ask you about is, OK, so you had this seminar with with all these.

It was a discussion group.

And how many women was it?

Oh, so a lot.

Now, if you had to characterize in a phrase people's relationships with their children, would you describe them as being very good, somewhat okay, generally kind of yucky?

I mean, how would you describe it?

To gloat, was that the answer?

To gloat and show you pictures of grandchildren?

A little bit, yeah, okay.
