M + M eating. i think it is more fun to watch men eat pop corn. they usually miss their mouths and the pop corn ends up smashed into their clothing and the butter is all over their faces. Just joking guys....you know we like you all. i do feel bad that men seem to be the sole topic of the class ridicule.

the idea of mothers and daughters struck me in class. i am not sure if i believe this relationship exists as it once did? girls today are taught to be independent and to look outside of their family for support, fun and love; whether we get it from our friends or our teachers, sometimes even from boyfriends. perhaps my view is skiewed. i never grew up with a traditional mother in the respects we have given them in class. my mom was always busy and i ended up taking on the role of caretaker for my family. the question that i want to propose is whether the relationship between mothers and their daughters and the lack there of, of said relationship shapes todays women for better or for worse?
