“Now, now," my father said. "Let's just get the bags." This was typical. My father, the lone male in our estrogen-heavy household, had always dealt with any kind of emotional situation or conflict by doing something concrete and specific.

Get the bags.” WantKindSaidEndsReasonHomeFatherSituationDoorsCarTearsEmotionalConflictEatingFlowCrisisTablesMalesHeavyOilDiscussionBagsComing HomeBreakfastConcreteHouseholdCheeseTypicalLoneBrewingCrampsEstrogenGrilled Cheese Book:Just Listen Source: Just Listen
