   Thanks for letting me know it’s okay that “I’m a shitty-ass parent.”

   Perhaps a bad son too, as I may try the story on her tonight.

   The other night, I’m stumbling down the hallway to pee, and Mom pops out of her room. Bare-ass naked except for a pair of puffy pink slip-ons. She leans up against the wall, hand on hip, and launches into making arrangements to get her car to the mechanic.

   sigh

   “Mom, it’s 3fuckingo’clock in the morning. Go the fuck to sleep.”

   She’s a great test for the occasional dirty sleep over too. Nothing measures someones sense of humor better than unexpectedly running into my naked 73 year old mom cooking breakfast and making the kid’s lunches.

   Anyone who has ever read anything I have ever written knows how wild in love I am with my kids.

   AND OH MY GOD SAMUEL JACKSON HAS CAPTURED THE MOTHERFUCKING TRUTH OF THE MOTHERFUCKING WRITTEN WORD! OMG OMG OMG OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG HE AND THIS BOOK ARE THE MOST AWESOME THING IN THE HISTORY OF AWESOME!!!

   I particularly like: “As I lie here and openly weep…” and “this room is all I can remember…”

   Though “Fuck your stuffed bear, I’m not getting you shit. Close your eyes. Cut the crap. Sleep.” is pretty high up there.

   I loved it. I don’t understand people’s reasons for not liking it. No one said you gotta read it to your kids or that is how black people read to their kids at night or whatever…

   Sigh. We will get it one day. I hope.

   I love this! There’s supposed to be a Werner Herzog version coming, too — the REAL Herzog, not one of the imitators.

   And here it is.
