My Mom


When I was planning my move, I sent a lot of poetry submissions with SASEs addressed to my mom's house because I wasn't sure how long they would take, and I didn't want them getting here before I did or getting to my old apartment too late. So from time to time I call my mom or she calls me, and one of the items of business is running through a few SASEs. But my mom apparently thinks rejections are devastating for me rather than a vast majority occurrence. Today I got a voicemail from her that started with her saying "Steven, I have some bad news" in a sad voice that actually got me worried. Then she said "You got several rejections in the last few days" and went on to list them as if it was the end of the world. Moms, what can you do?

What might be more adorable is her anger at Colorado Springs' established "Death Metal" scene and how it's partially responsible for keeping her other son's more mainstream band from being successful.

Hmm... Mom angry at Death Metal... yeah, that might be more adorable. Has she tried to call Death Metal's Mom to talk things through? Because that would definitely put Death Metal on top.
