kitchen talk

Discussion over breakfast one morning with mom. (where's the meatloaf?!) It was April 16th, 2010 I believe.

"...That's not how we were raised. It's about going to school to work in a field where jobs are easy to find."

"What? No. It's not always about what's easy."

"But it is. At least at first. You work some stable job, save money, and then.."

"And then what?? Then for the rest of your life, you dream? About doing something else? For some, that might be the easy. But for me, it's not."

"Yeah.." as if in agreement, but not really.

Under our breath we laugh. Then sit. Both of us. Silent. Just thinking.

Conversations can be funny like that sometimes. No real conclusion.

I love you, ma!
