THINK SIMPLE. THINK ELEGANT. BIBLICAL MOTHERING? A NEW AD GRACES A BILLBOARD IN THE BIBLE BELT, CAUSING, ANGER FROM FEMINISTS, AND OTHERS, WHO FIND THIS STATEMENT, SIMPLE BUT, LOADED, OFFENSIVE: "REAL MEN PROVIDE; REAL WOMEN APPRECIATE." THE PERSON OR ORGANIZATION WHO PUT THAT UP, JUST WANTED TO START SOME "FRIENDLY DISCUSSION" OR SO THEY SAY. BUT, I AM GOING TO TAKE THEM AT FACE VALUE, AND START ON, BECAUSE, TAKEN IN THE "BLACK & WHITE" THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN INTENDED, WITH ONE SIZE FITS ALL, APPROACH, I WOULD, SOMEWHAT AGREE AND SOMEONE DISAGREE, DEPENDING ON WHERE THE WOMAN OR THE MAN ARE IN LIFE, AND THAT, MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE. SEE WHAT YOU THINK? I AM GOING TO ARGUE BELOW AND TELL YOU WHY I AM RIGHT! LOL! JUST KIDDING, SOMEONE, MIGHT BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH SUBSTANTIAL ARGUMENTS THAT MIGHT, NEGATE MY OPINION AND MY THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT. THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER, IDEAS AND ARGUMENTS, THAT SHOW, POLAR OPPOSITE, OPINIONS, ON THE SUBJECT: (1) WAS AN ARTICLE ABOUT, "MONTANA ADVENTURE" A TRAVEL COMPANY, THAT, GIVES THEIR VALUED EMPLOYEES, PAID FAMILY LEAVE, AND THEY HAVE ONE OF THEIR, EMPLOYEES, LOOKING LIKE SHE IS READY TO BURST WITH BABY! THIS IS A PROGRESSIVE AND PART OF THE "SOLUTION" TYPE APPROACH, THAT CAN REVOLUTIONIZE, BOTH, MOTHERING, PARENTING, AND BUSINESS SENSE. RATHER THAN LOSE THEIR EMPLOYEES, THAT HAVE BEEN VETTED, PROVEN, LOYAL TO THE COMPANY, HAVE, ADDED, VALUE, BUT JUST HAPPEN TO BE THE MEMBER OF THE MARRIAGE OR FAMILY, WHO BEARS CHILDREN, THE WOMAN, ALONG WITH HER HUSBAND OR PARTNER, OR SINGLE, ARE GIVEN THE OPTION, AS TO, EITHER QUIT THE JOB, AND STAY HOME WITH THEIR BABY, OR TO TAKE THE FAMILY LEAVE AND PAY? A QUESTION, LIKE ABORTION, THAT, IS A PRIVATE MATTER, ONE TO BE DISCUSSED AND DECIDED WITH THE PARTNER, OR, ALONE, BUT, AN ISSUE THAT ONLY THE EMPLOYEE CAN ANSWER HERSELF, GIVEN ALL THE FACTORS THAT GO INTO HAVING A BABY, TIMING, SUPPORT OF THE SPOUSE OR PARTNER, TIMING, WHAT IT WILL DO TO THE FAMILY INCOME, WHO IS THE MAIN PROVIDER, AND THIS AD IS ASSUMING THAT, IT IS THE HUSBAND . . . BUT IN TODAY'S WORLD, COLLEGE EDUCATED WOMEN, ARE MAKING MORE MONEY, THAN MANY OF THEIR HUSBANDS, AND GIVEN PERSONALITIES, AND DESIRES, COUPLES ARE BEING OPEN, MORE AND MORE, TO ROLE REVERSALS, BASED ON WHAT WORKS BEST FOR THE COUPLE. A COMPLICATED ISSUE, FOR SURE. (2) THEN, ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE WAS AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE ROLE OF "FIRST LADIES" IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND A LOOK AT SOME OF THE NEW CHILDREN'S BOOKS AND THE MESSAGES, THAT THEY ARE SENDING TO GIRLS, WHO, MAY, IN FACT, LIKE SOME OF US, DESIRE TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, OVER AND ABOVE OUR HUSBANDS, GOALS, CASE IN POINT, HILLARY CLINTON, WHO HAS SHOT THE GAMBIT, OF EVERYTHING FROM A YALE LAW DEGREE, TO SECRETARY OF STATE, IN PREPARATION, TO BE THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT, A VERY NOBLE GOAL . . . SOMEONE SAID TO ME YESTERDAY, AS I RANGLED WITH, MY GAY, FRIEND, CLINTON, WHO VOTED FIRST FOR SANDERS, THEN, FOR TRUMP, HE HAS A CRUCH ON ANY MAN, WHO CAN SUPPORT HIM! LOL! IF YOU WERE TO MEASURE THE TWO OF US, ON A SCALE OF MASCULINITY ON THE ONE SIDE OF THE SCALE AND FEMINITY ON THE OTHER SIDE, CLINTON HAS ME BEAT HANDS DOWN, ON THE FEMININE SIDE OF THINGS--GUYS AT THE POVERELLO CENTER FOR THE HOMELESS, RUSH TO PROTECT, CLINTON FROM ME, WHEN, I HAVE HIM BACKED INTO A CORNER, FIGHTING OVER POLITICS! LOL! THE WEAKER SEX, FOR SURE! LOL! HE WOULD NOT MIND ME SAYING THAT, AND HE WOULD AGREE . . . THE GUYS, CALL HIM, TINK, FOR TINKERBELL! WHICH HE LIKES ALSO, NOT PETER PAN, BUT TINKERBELL HIS SIDE KICK AND FEMALE! LOL! HE IS FLYING TO PHOENIX ON TUESDAY, TO MEET UP WITH A FRIEND, ACTUALLY, A NON-GAY, SPORT'S CASTER, WHO IS TAKING MY HOMELESS FRIEND IN FOR A WHILE, NO RENT, BUT HE HAS TO DO THE COOKING! LOL! I WOULD BE FIRE, HAVING NOT COOKED, SINCE, I GOT A DIVORCE IN 1989, AND STARTED LAW SCHOOL IN 1990! MY OWN, FIRST HUSBAND, ONE OF FOUR, SAID, WHEN I BURNED, CLAM CHOWDER SOUP, HOMEADE, STICK TO THE LAW, JO, YOU ARE BETTER AT IT! THAT I AM! LOL! BUT, THE ARTICLE IN THE NEWSPAPER, SHOWED A PICTURE OF OUTGOING, FIRST LADY, MICHELLE OBAMA, WHO, TOOK A PRETTY TRADITIONAL APPROACH, GIVEN HER CREDENTIALS, AND BEING TRASHED, AS A MILITANT, YOU ALL REMEMBER THE "TIME" OR "NEWSWEEK" THAT SHOWED MICHELLE AS A BLACK PANTER, WITH MILITARY GARB ON, AND HOLDING AN AK-47 IN BOTH HANDS, WHEN SHE MERELY SAID, SHE HAD NEVER BEEN MORE PROUD TO BE A BLACK! AT LEAST THAT IS HOW, I TOOK HER, SUDDEN, CHANGE, NOT KNOWING MUCH ABOUT HER AT THE TIME. BUT, MICHELLE, HAS A LAW DEGREE, NOT SURE THE UNIVERSITY AND WAS MAKING, IN THE SIX FIGURES, WORKING WITH A LAW FIRM WHEN SHE AND PRESIDENT, THEN, BARACK OBAMA, MET, WITH HIM GIVING UP, THAT LUCRATIVE OFFER, BUT TAKING THE REAL VALUE OF THE LAW FIRM, WITH HIM, AFTER HE TOOK A JOB FOR $10,000 PER YEAR, I KNEW I LIKED THIS COMMUNITY ORGANIZER, THAT LED HIM ON HIS PATH TO POLITICS AND EVENTUALLY, THE WHITE HOUSE . . . BUT, BOTH, HILLARY AND MICHELLE, ARE EQUALLY, TRAINED, SCHOOLED, AND QUALIFIED, TO BE PRESIDENT, MANY HOPING THAT, MICHELLE, BY FAR THE MOST POPULAR POLITICAL FIGURE OF OUR TIME, WILL RECONSIDER RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, BUT, MY FRIEND, SAID, HILLARY HAS ALREADY BEEN PRESIDENT, EVERYONE KNEW, SHE WAS THE BRAINS BEHIND THE FIRST CLINTON PRESIDENCY, THE MACHINE AND THEREFORE, SHE HAS HAD HER TURN! LOL! I DON'T KNOW, IF HILLARY SEES IT QUITE THAT WAY, BUT, AT LEAST THAT MAKES SOME WOMEN FEEL BETTER, AND WE ALL KNOW THAT SHE HAS FOUGHT LONG AND HARD, AGAINST THE OLD BOYZ CLUBZ, THAT HAVE TEAMED UP TO DESTORY HER CHANCES OF BEING THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT, FROM RUSSIA TO THE FBI, TO THE DIRTY TRUMP, "FAKE" NEWS, AND PROPAGANA MACHINE, TWEETS, AND SOCIAL MEDIA, TO THE POINT OF KIDDIE PORN, AND RIFLES AT THE COMET PIZZARIA, ON A CLAIM, THAT ANY SANE PERSON WOULD HAVE DISMISSED IN A HEARTBEAT, BUT EVEN THEN, SOME SMART PEOPLE BEIEVED THE BULL SHIT . . . BUT, MICHELLE, SHOWN FROM THE BACK, WAS CHEEK TO CHEEK, WITH NOW, "SO-CALLED" FIRST LADY, AND MODEL, MELANIA TRUMP, GOING BACK IN TIME, TO CAMELOT, WEAR, AND EVEN TO THE CALVIN COOLIDGE, ERA, WHEN, FIRST LADY, GRACE, WAS TO HAVE GLOVES AND DRESS, PREPARED AT ALL TIME, JUST INCASE, THERE WAS A DINNER OR SURPRISE ENGAGEMENT THE PRESIDENT WANTED TO ATTEND, ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT, WITH HIS LOVELY WIFE, AND SHOW PIECE, AND HE MADE THIS STATEMENT, GRACE IS SO LOVELY, SO FEMININE, AND SO OBEDIENT! SCREAMMMMMMMM! BUT THOSE, THOUGHTS WERE RATTLING THROUGH MY HEAD, BRINGING TO MIND THIS, STATEMENT ON THE BILLBOARD. TO ME, THERE ARE AS MANY WAYS, TO ANSWER, OR DISCUSS THAT STATEMENT AT THERE ARE WOMEN. I FEEL, GRATEFUL AND HUMBLED, BY MY FOUR, PRECIOUS, BRILLIANT, BEAUTIFUL, AND TALENTED, CHILDREN, WHO, MAY OR MAY NOT AGREE WITH, THEIR MOTHER'S CHOICE, AFTER 15 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, BASICALLY, BEING A HOUSEWIFE, FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, UPON, HAVING A DREAM AND BEING ACCEPTED TO LAW SCHOOL, WITHIN, SEVERAL HOURS OF THE DREAM, BEING ACCEPTED, IN AN UNPRECEDENTED AND UNORTHODOZE, MANNER, BEING ADMITTED, TO LAW SCHOOL, ON THE SPOT WITH NO, APPLICATION, NO REFERENCES, OTHER THAN, A PROFESSOR, WHO HAD SEEN, ME IN A FAMILY, OF PROFESSIONALS, ON A RARE YEAR, WHEN, ONLY ME AND MY VERY COOL, ROLE MODEL, GRANDMOTHER, DEAN OF WOMEN, AT SOUTHERN UTAH UNIVERSITY, BUT, CRAZY INTERVIEWER, ASKED, LAW STUDENTS, APPLYING FOR, A SMALL, BUT VERY PRESTIGIOUS SCHOLARSHIP, NAMED AFTER MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER, TENDERLY, REFERRED TO AS THE JUDGE, AND HER FIRST QUESTION WAS, "DO YOU LIKE MATLOCK?" I KNEW, THE INTERVIEWS WERE UP TO ME, ALL 12 OF THEM, WITH NOTHING BUT AN UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE, IMPRESSING THE TWO LAW PROFESSORS TO THE EXTENT, THEY WANTED TO KNOW WHY I WAS NOT GOING TO LAW SCHOOL, BUT, BEING ADMITTED, WITHOUT LSAT SCORES, AND AN INTERVIEW WITH THE PROFESSOR, I SOUGHT AFTER AT LEAST A YEAR OR TWO, WHO THEN, GOT ME STRAIGHT INTO THE DEAN, WHO ADMITTED ME AND SAID, I CAN'T BELIEVE, WE ARE NOT DYING TO HAVE A STUDENT LIKE YOU . . . ROCKED, UNDERGRAD! BUT, THE DECISION, TO, DIVORCE, COUPLED WITH, LAW SCHOOL, REVERSING, OUR PLANS FOR ME TO TAKE THE HOUSE, KIDS, DOG, ETC., AFTER HAVNG, DECIDED, HAVING STARTED A MASTER'S DEGREE, IN FAMILY AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND READING, PROFUSELY, ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SINGLE PARENT FAMILY, LEAD MY A MOTHER, AS OPPOSED TO A FATHER, GIVEN THE AGES OF MY CHILDREN AT THE TIME, HEADING INTO THEIR TEEN YEARS, AND STRAGGLERS, THAT, $80,000 PER YEAR, AS OPPOSED, TO DIRT ASS WAGES AS A SCHOOL TEACHER IN PROVO SCHOOL DISTRICT, WITH TEACHER, A DIME A DOZEN, WOULD PROVIDE MY CHILDREN, WITH MORE SECURITY, STABILITY, AND SANITY, JUST BASED ON INCOME ALONE, HAVING, NOT WORKED OUTSIDE THE HOME, FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS, OTHER THAN, A FEW, SIDE INCOME JOBS, NEVER LEAVING MY KIDS, DURING THE DAY, ALWAYS FOCUSED ON EARLY MORNING, ALL NIGHT, OR NIGHT JOBS, NOT INTERRUPTING, THEIR LIVES, BUT NOW WITH A CHOICE! SCIENCE, KNOWLEDGE AND PERSONALITY TRAITS, PLUS THE ROLES OF A PARENT, AT VARIOUS STAGES, WITH FATHERS THE PARENT TO "LAUNCH" CHILDREN, IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING A ROLE MODEL FOR MY TWO YOUNG SONS, DAUGHTERS, OLDER, HAVING A STRONG FEMALE ROLE MODEL, TEAMED WITH, THE FACT THAT, IN SINGLE FAMILIES LED BY FATHERS, DEPENDING ON THE KIDS AGES, MOTHERS, MORE IMPORTANT, TO TRAIN ON EARLY HABITS, EDUCATION, AND SKILLS, WITH FATHERS, KEYING INTO TO DEALING WITH OLDER KIDS, DISCIPLINE, AND WHAT NOT, THE STUDIES SHOWED THAT, WITH FATHERS, THERE WERE LESS DRUGS, ALCOHOL, TRUANCY, SCHOOL DROP OUTS, TEEN PREGNANCIES AND RUN-AWAY TEENS! OKAY, I DID MY JOB, KIDS, PERSONALITIES, ARE FORMED BY THE AGE OF 5, SO, DAD IS THE CHOICE! LIKE IS THE CASE WITH ALL KIDS, THERE IS A PERIOD, THAT SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN THEIR 30'S, FOR, BOTH, TWO PARENT FAMILIES AND SINGLE PARENT FAMILIES, WHERE THE KID, POSSIBLY, NOT HAPPY WITH THEIR LIVES, OR WONDERING, HAD THIS OR THAT HAPPENED, OR NOT HAPPENED, WHERE WOULD I BE? BUT WITH ALL KIDS, THERE SOON, COMES A REALIZATION, THAT, YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE, YOUR PARENTS ARE WHO THEY ARE, AND, IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH WHERE YOU ARE, WITH SOME KIDS, LUCKIER THAN YOU, OR SOME WORSE OFF, ALL SUCCESSES, BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN EFFORTS, THEY PICK UP THE GAUNTLET AND GO, GOOD, BAD OR UGLY, AND REALIZE THAT, THEY ARE THE CAPTAIN OF THEIR SHIP AND LIVES! MY MOTHER USED TO SAY, THE ONLY HANDS YOU CAN TRUST ARE THE ONES AT THE END OF YOUR OWN, HANDS! TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE, AND THE UNEXAMINED LIFE, IS NOT WORTH LIVING . . . AT THAT POINT, CHILDREN, STOP BLAMING PARENTS, AND THEY TAKE OFF, BEING WHO AND WHAT, THEY WANT TO BE! THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL THING FOR A PARENT TO WITNESS, IN THEIR CHILD. THE HIGHEST PRAISE THAT, A PARENT CAN GET, IS, "HEY, MOM, DAD, YOU DID THE BEST YOU COULD, WITH THE HANDS, PERSONALITIES, CHALLENGES, YOU HAD, AND I GOT THIS NOW!" SO, AS FOR THE QUESTION, ABOUT, A REAL MAN, PROVIDING, AND A REAL WOMAN, APPRECIATING, I AGREE, WHEN KIDS ARE LITTLE, AS THEY GROW, AND THE MOTHER IS GIVEN, MORE TIME, EXPAND, GOING FROM, HOME, TO CHURCH, TO COMMUNITY, TO, STATE, NATION AND WORLD! THERE IS A TIME AND SEASON FOR ALL THINGS, AND THAT INCLUDES, BEING WITH KIDS, IF THAT IS WHAT YOUR FAMILY NEEDS, OR FINDING OTHER SOLUTIONS, THE FATHER, FIGURE, AND I HAVE READ, SINCE THAT TIME, THAT THE MOST SUCCESSFUL, MARRIAGES ARE THE ONES WHERE THE ROLES ARE NOT SO, "SET IN STONE" AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES, PREFERENCES, FAMILIES, GIFTS AND YES, TOLERANCE, FOR DIFFERENT AGES, SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT . . . SOME GUYS ARE A MESS WITH BABIES, SOME MOMS ARE TOO, I DIG MY KIDS, THE OLDER THEY GET! LOL! I LOVE WHO THEY ARE, WHAT THEY ARE, WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY THINK, LIKE BUTTERFLIES, COMING OUT OF CACOONS, SEEING THEM FLY, SPREAD THEIR WINGS, THE COLORS, WHERE THEY LAND, FLY TO, AND AWAY FROM, IS MAGICAL, AND I LEARNED, THAT, THEY ARE THE BEST JUDGE OF WHAT THEY NEED AND WANT, AND THEY ARE NOT ME, NOR ME THEM, AND FREEDOM, TO BE, IS THE MOST PRECIOUS THING, I CAN GIVE THEM! I FOLLOWED, BIBILICAL TEACHINGS, AS A YOUNG MOTHER, OFTEN DID WHAT WAS COMMON SENSE, DEALT THIS THEM, AS AN "EMOTIONALLY" REMOVED, COUNSELOR AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY, IN THEIR TEEN YEARS, TRIED NO TO "WONDER WHAT THE NEIGHBORS" THOUGHT, OR WHAT, GRANDMA AND GRANDPA, AUNTS AND UNCLES THOUGHT, GIVING THE PROTECTION, DISTANCE, AND LIBERTIES, THAT, FREED THEM, FROM THE FAMILY GOSSIP, MILL, AND JUDGMENT, THAT I THOUGHT WAS DAMAGING, AND CRUEL . . . BUT IN THE END, OR NOT REALLY THE END, BUT, HITTING THE POINT, THAT I AM VERY SATISTIFIED WITH ALL FOUR OF MY AMAZING CHILDREN, THAT MANY, COUIPLE, PEOPLE, HAVE TRIED TO CLAIM, DNA, HOME STARTS, TELL THE STORY, AND WHERE YOU GOT YOUR START, MATTERS, AND NO, TY, OR SCOTTY ARE NOT MINE, SHELLEY'S, IS TY, RACHEL, SCOTT, SUE, HER TWO, MINE, GRETA, NICOLE, CHRIS AND ELLIOT, ALL AMAIZING IN THEIR OWN RIGHT, ALL TAKING THEIR LIVES BY THE HORNS, AND DEALING WITH, A TOUGH MOTHER, BUT NEVER ABUSIVE, "FIRM BUT FAIR" GIVING THEM, SPACE AND TIME, FOR DEVELOPING, KNOWING THAT, ONE SIZE DOESN'T FIT ALL, SEEING THAT, ONE IS UP AT ONE POINT, WHILE THE OTHER, STRUGGLES, KNOWING, THEY ALL HAVE THE CHARACTER, STAMINA, FORTITUDE, AND ABILITIES, TO THRIVE, EVEN UNDER THE WORST OF CONDITIONS WITH, EVIL, RAGING, AND MOTHER HATERS, ABOUNDING, WITH THREATS, BUT FREEDOM, IN THE END, IS WHAT, I BELIEVE, THEY WILL SEE, AS THEIR SAVING GRACE, AS IT IS FOR ALL PEOPLE, THE FREEDOM TO BE, TO BE THEM, TO THRIVE, TO GROW, TO CHALLENGE, TO SPEAK, TO LOVE, TO WORSHIP, OR NOT, TO WORK OR NOT, TO HAVE CHILDREN, OR NOT, KNOWING THEMSELVES, BETTER THAN, I, EVEN AS THEIR MOTHER KNOWS THEM! I AM APPRECIATIVE, THAT MY HUSBAND, PROVIDED, I FIRMLY BELIEVE, THAT, HE HAS THE TEMPERAMENT, TO HOLD THE SHIP, THE LONG HAUL, THE HAIR AND THE TORTISE STORY . . . I AM THE FLASHIER, THE FIRECRACKER, THE RACER, THE TNT, HE IS THE STEADY, THE DAILY, THE GRIND, THE ROCK, AND, FOR THAT, THE DIFFERENCES, HAVE GIVEN MY KIDS, A PRETTY SOLID FOUNDATION, AND TO ME, THAT HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE! BUT, EACH FAMILY IS DIFFERENT, EACH KIDS, EACH MARRIAGE, EACH PERSON . . . AND WHO HAVE I TO SAY? BUT IT IS WORTH DISCUSSING, THE ONE REASON, I BELIEVE THAT, THAT STATEMENT IS TRUE, IS FOR ONE, WHILE I WORKED 40 HOURS, A WEEK, WHILE MY HUSBAND, FATHER OF ALL FOUR OF MY KIDS, WENT THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, THEN A MASTER'S DEGREE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, WHILE, I SUPPORTED, HIM AND HE ME, DEEPING ON WHAT WAS GOING ON, BUT WITH A FOCUS ON OUR DUTIES AS PARENTS, AT ANY GIVEN TIME, EVEN AFTER DIVORCE, WHAT A DELIGHTFUL, EX-HUSBAND, ALWAYS SUPPORTIVE, ENCOURAGING, AND SOMEONE I COULD TRUST WITH MY KIDS, AND HE ME, WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG, BOTH WITH THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR KIDS, IN COMMON, AT THE FOREFRONT OF OUR THOUGHTS, HEARTS AND MINDS, AS CO-PARENTS! I KNOW, THAT, THERE ARE THOSE NAY SAYER, MY FATHER, OTHERS WHO WANT TO STEAL MY KIDS, THEIR AFFECTIONS, MY DEGREES, MUCH, LIKE, THE BROTHER OF KIM JONG-UN, KIM JONG-NAM . . . HINT, HINT, HINT, ALL USING MY NAME, THE FAMOUS NAME, BUT WITH A FATHER, WHO, DECIDED, WHOM TO FAVOR AND WHOM, NOT, TO, ALTHOUGH IN THIS CASE, I WAS THE LAWYER, THE PROFESSOR, THE BUSINESS OWNER, THE ONLINE PROFESSOR AND THE OVER-ACHIEVER, WITH ALL THE HONORS AND THE HONORABLE KIDS, NOT FLAT ASSED, KAY, BROUGHT IN, BECAUSE SHE WAS, MY FRIEND GROWING UP, BUT A SHITTY, AMBULANCE CHASER, ATTORNEY, WORTHLESS, OTHER THAN, HAVING A SMILE, AND SORT OF A PERSONALITY, FRIENDS, DO, YOU KNOW, BUT, SHE ACTUALLY, LIKED MY DAD, NOT COMPETED WITH HIM AND SHE FIT IN THE SOUTHWICK FAMILY SCHEME OF THINGS, ONLY ONE MONTH OLDER, MY FAMILY, ALWAYS, JEALOUS, ALWAYS ENVIOUS, OF MY FREEDOM, PREFERRED THE SUBSTITUTE, WHO DID, NONE OF THE THINGS, I DID . . . SHE MAY HAVE TOPPED ME IN HIGH SCHOOL, BUT, SHE STAGNATED, AND I PICKED UP STEAM, THE OLD, FURTHER, FASTER, AND HIGHER I WENT . . . SO, A LARGE FAMILY, A MOTHER WHO SACRIFICED, HER ALL, FOR HER KIDS, PUTTING UP WITH MY SHITHEAD FATHER WAS JEALOUS, MY FATHER, WHO WANTED TO BE AN ATTORNEY, NEVER DID, BECAUSE OF FAMILY, DUTIES, DIDN'T, SISTERS, SINGLE, THE VICTIMS, EVEN THE MARRIED, WHO SAT AROUND, FOR 25 YEARS, WHO HAD ALL THE MONEY, OPPORTUNITIES, EVEN NANNY'S DIDN'T, BUT, ALL WANTED TO BE ME, CLAIM MY KIDS, WHEN, THEY FOLLOWED IN MOM AND DAD'S SHOES, BEING SOLID, SMART, BEAUTIFUL, AND TALENTED, WITH THE MORMON STALE BREW, NOTHING SPECIAL! LOL! OF THE FIRST LADIES, I WOULD, LIKE MY DAUGHTHERS AND GRAND-DAUGHTERS TO MODEL AFTER, BOTH IN PARENTING, AND CAREER, PURSUITS AND EVEN IN MARRIAGES, WITH TRUMP A SERIAL, ADULTERER, IT IS THE CLINTONS AND THE OBAMAS, HILLARY AND MICHELLE, THEIR MARRIAGES, THEIR FOCUS AND PROTECTED CHILDREN, MODELS FOR ALL! I FOUND THIS WRITING ON THE BACK OF THIS DUDES, BRIGHT ORANGE, MY SIGN FOR, SMART, COLOR OF THE CARPET, OR RUST, OF THE HOME I RAISED MY KIDS, AT, POOR, BUT, HEALTHY, HOMELIFE, EARLY, YEARS, AND TEEN YEARS, WITH ALMOST STEPS, OR STEPS, THEY ARE CLOSE TO, TO THIS DAY, WITH THEIR KIDS, BEING AS CLOSE AS SIBLINGS AT TIMES, BUT, THE HELENA SAND & GRAVEL COMPANY PUT THESE SHIRTS OUT, AND THEY ARE GREAT AND CAN BE APPLIED TO PARENTING, MOTHERING, FATHERING, THE CHOICES WE MAKE, THE LEGISLATURES, THE CONGRESS, THE COURTS AND THE PRESIDENCY . . . THE ACRONYM IS "THINK" AND ABOVE ALL ELSE WHAT SEPARATES US FROM THE ANIMAL KINGDOM IS OUR ABILITY TO THINK, SO, HERE IS IT . . . DOWN BELOW . . .
