Mama

Mama took another bite of her meatloaf. I’m telling you, George, your coworkers at the factory are just jealous of you. So what if they call you names for still living with me? They’re just jealous. That you can keep your finances under control. That we have such a close relationship. And if anyone ever brings up the word “codependent,” ignore it—living at home has nothing to do with your manliness, not even now, at age 46. If anything, it makes you stronger—shows everyone you’re a confident, loving man. Okay, now your meatloaf is all chewed—lean back and say “aaaah!”
