A little Lame
March 10, 2008 | Uncategorized
Well, Maria, the afterthought was a little lame. But, what can I do. It was gradually discovered that I love my sons more than I love my daughters. I tried to disguise it for years, but it just became too much of a burden for me to carry. Little incidences began to occurr that uncovered the truth.
It was Lainie who caught me in the first act of transgression against my daughters.
She happened to wake up one night in California, and heard singing in the livingroom. Tiptoing quietly down the hall, she looked around the door, and saw me singing to a baby.
Was it a baby GIRL. Oh, No! The blanket was blue, and there was only ONE BABY in the house. It was TONY! Her mother had NEVER sung to any of the baby daughters before. NEVER! That was the very first clue that I loved the sons more than the daughters.
(If she had looked closely, she would have seen Tony wriggling miserably under the blanket, because I have the most awful, screechiest voice on earth, and the baby girls were spared the agony!!)
And so life went on with one clue after another, proving that my heart truly did lie with my sons. Didn’t I go to every single one of my son’s ballgames and not any of my daughter’s ballgames (Hmm-mmm-mmmm!!!)
How huggable were my daughters compared to my sons?! (Hm-mm-mm!!)
Why even try. I can’t hide it.

As the youngest son who had to endure the tyranny of all your girls, all I can say mom is I completely understand why you favored the boys. WE were angels
