75. Because my mom was ready to file criminal charges against me.

Fri Nov 8, 2013, 12:06 AM

Nov 2013

So that I would have a rap sheet.

You people of the mob mentality never had to deal with my mother.

Let's just say, and I'm being really polite here, that I have to reach pretty far back in my childhood to find good memories of her. Or getting her approval. Or her not being emotionally dysfunctional. My father, who worked his butt off to support us by working two jobs for fifteen years, attorney and pipefitter, once called her a "millstone" to me after she complained that he didn't work hard enough and that she should have a big house.

Just go away.
