You got to share in this eruption of sound of laughter over the absurdity and the inability to escape the absurdity of the situation.
It worked exactly like a drug.
And yeah, what a great drug.
I'm just saying that I now see we all had our ways.
So like my sister Meg, she just withdrew.
She just withdrew into herself.
And then she moved to Japan where she's been for 40 years.
And she's at my mom's funeral, which was last summer.
Meg said, my only way to escape our mom was to literally move to the other side of the earth.
And learn in a completely different culture.
That is very different, Japanese culture and language.
And she didn't move to Tokyo.
She moved to a small, the smallest of the bigger islands in Japan in a city that has like 8 million people and four foreigners.
I mean, like, she went there.
