Foot in Mouth Disorder

I have suffered from Foot in Mouth Disorder for many lifetimes now.  I
have come to accept the fact…sometimes. Today on the telephone I was
reminded by certain inflections in my sister Sarah’s voice, of special
times in my childhood with her..Our youth…I wanted to communicate to
her my love for her…here is where the foot entered the mouth..I said,
"I know that I have been remiss in not visiting you and that you have
been remiss in not visiting me"…bad move…she got angry as she often
does…and more or less said goodbye…this short of hanging up on me.
I should have just kept my mouth shut about her not visiting me.  She
has lived in Oklahoma her entire life. Mexico probably frightens her.
She goes to places like Pensacola where it is White and red neckish
The stuff that Obama is getting flack for now about the people in
Pennsylvania applies to the likes of my sister…their world view is
absolutely limited…She said she was going to vote for Obama, but she
feared he was the Anti-Christ…I shake my head and hope that she may
have been kidding…but one has to wonder…so weird.  The important
thing is for me to own my part of the conversation…where she went
with it is her drama.  I have avoided Oklahoma all these years…the
Past…My Family Drama there…and quite frankly the pervasive limited
viewpoint of a good majority of its inhabitants.  I silently shake my
head as I view my roots.
