maybe u're just like my mother

Got this e-mail from Mom the other day:

Chris, how do I see the portrait? I clicked on the website, but nothing happened. By the way, watch your language, I read your purple suspicion. The "f" word used a little too frequently.
Mom

:) I counted and the day she sent it, the "f" word (not faggot) was on the front page twice. I think that's pretty light, as much as I like to use it! But I know that once is too much for my mom. Actually, before this e-mail arrived, I had a dream that Mom was reading a newsletter from that place where I used to work and an article about its leader. I grabbed it and said, "I fucking hate him, he's a fucking jerk!" And in the dream, my mom didn't react to that AT ALL. When I woke, I knew that the universe was telling me I did the right thing if leaving. If Mom wasn't upset by 1) me hating someone; or 2) actually saying the "f" word (twice!), then everything must be okay!
