Someone Else Understands!
Take a look at this send-up of a Readers' Digest cover over at Shae's Place (Shae's also an Exquisite Corpser). Damn, that's a good laugh. I have this horrorshow memory of The Reader's Disgust. My mom sent me a gift subscription about a decade ago! OK, speaking of returning gifts, that is one gift I did return, and felt not a bit of guilt doing it either (I think I got cash back, which I used to buy drugs)*. I was absolutely crushed when I received the notice in the mail that I was receiving a gift subscription to the thing. She had no clue why I would not appreciate a subscription to it. None. Absolutely Clueless why I wouldn't want to read it. After all, when I was young, I read it at their house. Oh, perhaps because *that was the only thing around the house to read?!?* And I was young, and I didn't know any better. God, it's like these people called parents give you this limited choice of Evil A or Evil B, you choose the lesser Evil B and so for the rest of your life your parents think you *like* Evil B, but it's not like you really had a choice in the matter. I confess I'm a bit guilty of that myself. We never got Persephone many cat toys because the dogs would always take them from her and chew them up, making them a wet, smelly, matted wad of un-cat-friendly fuzz. So she had to make due with found objects like construction nails and chips of wood, which were abundant around our always-under-construction house back in the '90s. So Persephone has become known to Stan and me as the cat that likes to play with nails. But that's really being unfair to her. It's not that she really had much of a choice in the matter. We had become parents. Fortunately, it's only with a cat. Fortunately, I will never do that to another human being because I know how much that hurts. And that's why I have to buy drugs, i.e., birth control pills, if you know what I mean. I tried to offer my mom a subscription to a Macintosh magazine once and she didn't want it. I didn't press her about it, I didn't say "Why wouldn't you want to read it? You'll learn a lot about your computer" and on and on about the virtues of reading current technology magazines. No, that would've been too much like her, and I'm not that way. If I was, I'd probably be reading Readers' Digest right now.
