My Entry:

This morning while eating, my son Trason insisted that his food had been poisoned and proceeded to throw his plate of grits at the wall so hard that it fractured into itty-bitty pieces. If I don't do something about things soon, I could be his next target.

    Sounds like Trason is having some trust issues. Hope he can get some help soon. Those poor grits... If you can't tell, I love grits! 😁

    Fun read! Great job. 💜

  • Well done, Tiff!!! I hope that Trason’s mom is not the next target. It’s bad enough that the wall has fractured into pieces! Good storytelling!

    Travon needs a good butt whipping, grandma style. But u probably gonna pay for a shrink instead. Old way was better. Cheaper.

    I see! From your piece on a veteran struggling with mental health after coming back from war. (I read the comments :) Timely topic with so much damage to so many people's mental and emotional health with all those wars going on.
