Show Motherlunge a novel 10 3. Something in the Way When it's time to have the talk with your daughter, you find there's something in the way. A central barrier. The physiology, the euphemisms, the apparent lack of motive-the way you find yourself shuttling between complexity and oversimplification-all this merely straddles, like a terrified coed on a mechanical bull in a terrible teen movie, a single, simple message: Be careful. Can you ever get around it? Are you ever done saying that? I should warn you: I am only getting started. |
