The way you expose every aspect of human foibles is so graceful--every one, from you to your mother to your father to Ethan, is a roiling mixture of good intentions to annoying habits.

Oh, wait, not you on that last part, of course. You just have habits. Not annoying.

Although I don't say this enough -- or, ever -- I very much appreciate the comments about publishing my stories. Because that's the plan. Once I have enough of them and they've been revised (even I'm not perfect -- I know, shocker!), I'd actually like to insert these little psychopathic ruminations into a few (or thousands) of chopped-up trees. So encouragement is greatly appreciated, and necessary, or else I will resign myself to a life of legal mumbo jumbo. (That's a technical term.)

I will first selfishly say that I'm glad you haven't posted in a while as I won't have too much catching up to do.

I will secondly say, even though it is the most oft used sycophantic blog comment - you really should be published. This was just excellent on so many levels. F*#cking funny.

I really enjoy your sense of humor, especially that it adds to the story. Thanks for visiting my humble blog.

I like Red Mojo's attitude as well. I write those stories about cats and spit up, you know. Not really worth reading.

Thanks Pixielyn. Your brother sounds like a pushover. I'd only come out for cash.

Bravo! You speak for us all who have mothers with catastrophic minds! (Everything is a catastrophie!)
I hid from my parents arguing too, sometimes I had to bribe my brother to come out from under his bed with treats or toys!!! This brought back so many memories. Hugs to you and your heart.

Ah, yes, the Peanut Butter Tall Building Thunderstorm Public Speaking Naked Phobia is quite common, along with its lesser-known variant involving Blizzards.

This was a pleasure to read and laugh out loud at. Long...who cares? My time is better spent here than reading 20 short blog posts about cats, or spit up!

I feel privileged to read it, thank you!

Amy, welcome to my world of constant ambivalence.

Heart, I won't mention my many phobias by name, but let's just say, I can't eat peanut butter in crowded tall buildings during thunderstorms while public speaking naked.

So glad you're back -- another excruciatingly funny story from the home boy.

I think being Jewish lends itself to claustrophobia and at least 7 or 8 other random but quite specific fears - pick a phobia, any phobia.

Note to Amy: I weigh 100 pounds and I am not too thin, or Jonah's mother.

Good grief ~ it's no wonder you're claustrophobic!...

Good grief ~ it's no wonder you're claustrophobic! I think I would be too if I'd gotten stuck in a crawlspace 10 feet below ground. It made my skin crawl just reading about it...

And that mother of yours ~ I can't decide if I love her or hate her. I wish she'd put some weight on though ~ 100 lbs is too thin.
