A bratty six-year-old down in Carlsbad makes his poor, haggard mother so mad! He'll be good for a buck but his mom shouts: Good luck! Just be good for nothing like your dad! Written 5/12/22

haha, He seems to resemble my OWN lad at a young age. he grew up to become a D.A in oregon, but oh my, for him being my second child (and a boy that time), he was my birth control for not getting pregnant again!!

That family needs counseling! The dad’s good for nothing, the kid is a chip off the old block and mama’s critical!
