Susan:
I really have no idea what you're talking about. Is your problem with the elephant conversation? Did the woman say that elephants have a "god spot" that's stimulated all the time? (That's on the Faith board.) And she said it's the same place that's stimulated when a child has a migraine? And migraines are often mistaken for little green men and god? And once you tell a kid it's a migraine, the kid stops seeing little green men and god? Or the migraines stop?
I am completely confused.
As for the Ya Yas, a friend recommended that insipid book--bought both for me, in fact, and wanted to discuss them. I read them and thought they were just awful. Books of fiction that made it okay to abuse your kids (almost sexually, at times) physically and emotionally? A book that romanticized drunks? A book that made these nasty, foul women out to be some kind of heroes? Oy vey. Give me a break.
I was never abused, and I usually don't have a problem discussing any topic. But I am no longer friendly with the person who gave those books to me. (She was an undiagnosed/unadmitted bipolar, not that it really matters.)
