Talks With My Mother

I know how much everybody loves these posts, so here is one more memorable discussion with my mother.

Mother: You should stop watching all these crime dramas on TV. They will stress you out, and that’s no good for the baby.

Me: No, I talked to a psychologist and he says that the harmful stuff is the kind that causes me negative emotions: stress, anger, fear, etc. And crime dramas don’t cause me any negative feelings.

Mother: I don’t know. I think you should be watching nice, happy movies. Like Cinderella or romantic comedies.

Me: Mama, I told you, the psychologist says I should avoid watching things that make me feel stress, anger, fear, etc.

Cinderella is actually kind of creepy. I could see a romantic comedy where Cinderella is a snoop/charperson and the Prince is a serial foot maimer. They team up to investigate crime.

The standardization of emotions, yes. For instance, in my case, a lot of troubling and violent scenes can be cathartic. Don’t want to keep the tension bottled in.
