Laughter Is Medicine In A Story
…like the woman who hadn’t contacted her mother for 15 years and at 
her sister’s funeral, her mother said, “Move! I want a picture of you next to the grave!”
The Book Is A Therapeutic Work In Process
My Mom’s Meaner Than Your Mom: True Stories of Mean Mothers,
“Carrie says” …the story’s not over because mom’s still alive. I haven’t quite found the arc of the book. It’s about surviving with humor while having a mean and crazy mom.
And now that she has dementia, my joke is my mom doesn’t know it, but she’s a democrat again!
The jokes just write themselves.
I think part of the arc is that my sister just went into remission from having cancer for a year and we realized our mother did not have to die for us to live. I go home and make sure she has TWO-ply toilet paper, even though we don’t think she deserves it, and I bathe her dog and go to Costco.”
