In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

How A Relationship Works 

Conversation overheard in my house:

"No one has sent me an e-postcard," the woman says.

"Oh, that's too bad," the man says. "I got one from you today. It was nice."

"No one has sent me a postcard," the woman repeats.

The man makes a pouting face. "I'm sorry no one has sent you a card," the man says.

"Take a hint, man. I'm talking about you, you, you. Send me a freaking postcard!"

"Oh," the man says.

Man leaves for work. Five minutes later, woman receives seven e-postcards covered with endearments.

Woman e-mails the man, "About freaking time. Thanks, honey."

Man e-mails the woman, "I love that you are so gracious." And then more mushy stuff.

Yep. Stuff of freaking fairy tales.
