They say faith can move
mountains, father said. But
I haven’t seen what you
moved lately. You can’t
even move yourself out
of the house. I blame therapy.
It doesn’t help to talk about
your problems. Look at me.
My life is one big problem –
your lack of initiative. But do
you see me always talking
about it? Only once in a while –
like right now – when you need
a little push. When was the last
time you earned some money?
It must have been before they
put Lincoln on the penny. Just
kidding. You weren’t around then.
And it’s a good thing. There were
no government handouts.
You either worked or you starved.
