GAMER_MOM
My stats are: Age 43, female, married, 3 kids–all boys. I love reading, writing, cooking, drinking whiskey, dancing (sometimes while drinking whiskey) listening to Nina Simone and ... playing video games. But please, don't be cringe and call me a GAMER MOM. My 13 year old son can't handle it.

Where did that saying come from?
Growing up in Brooklyn, NY in the 1980s and 90s, I was exposed to a lot of old school sayings or terms that I didn't know the meaning of, like calling a tank top, a 'wife beater'. Until very recently some folks in my family still referred to it as such. Looking back now, I can't imagine a 9-year old girl today, referring to her father's tank top as a wife beater! Ay dios mio!

Eight glasses a day to keep the demons away ...
Part One: Mother The family is gathered at the long table overlooking the lake at the back of my father's house—in reality, the lake is a pond, but my father demands grandeur from all his things. Now that he is gone, my mother has reluctantly claimed his seat at the helm. Like the pond, his seat at the table is grand. Like the table, it is made of Cypress—the eternal wood. It will never rot, nor any insect infect it. My father was so sure of it, he had the grand table and chairs set as close to pond's edge as possible. Taunting the dark water to a challenge.
