I admit that right now I am in a curios mood. How can something be revolting and fun at the same time? I am in utter shock. I seriously can’t believe I read this and actually finished it, but I did, in one go and I enjoyed it. From then on, I took the thing humorously, and as a complete and utter fantasy, and ended up having fun. I was disgusted, but at the same time morbid curiosity kept me reading until a point were everything was so ridiculous that I started to laugh. Everything here is really disturbing and perturbing. I have no words to describe how twisted this is. I can’t believe I just read this…I was trying to sleep last night without success and finally decided to pick up something short to read and ended up picking this book.

I thought about all of the things that I loved about her, all the fun stuff we did together, and finally I settled on, “I like my Mom because she gave birth to me.” That just seemed the most basic. I remember it vividly because it was my first awareness of that space between a feeling and the language we have to name it. I like kittens because they are soft.” And then I wrote, “I like my Mom-” but I couldn’t come up with an end to the sentence.

One of my first memories is of looking out the window of the black Cadillac that my family drove across the wide-open desert when we moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, which is where I grew up, and where my sister and I spent countless summer afternoons making fairy potions, battling evil witches, and playing other imaginary games that probably contributed to my proclivity to make up stories.
