   Cross-stitch makex for euphemism.

   If that were an eighteenth-century Long S after MOTHER, the sampler might read MOTHERSUCKER.

   “Mothersucker” is an impressively useful portmanteau.

   Precisely. And to think, we’d never have thought had it not been for Flannery’s thoughtful gift.

   I think it’s important to mention that this was a two-part gift–the second part being a sparrow in formaldehyde. And that my mom correctly guessed the contents of both packages before opening them.

   Flannery, your mom’s a motherfucker, figuratively speaking.

   Cindy can know things in a way that will scare a person. I have never understood how she can do that. Also: Flannery inherited this ability.

   This just adds to my suspicion that Flannery and I would hit it off if we met in real life.
