Mama Parle, Mama Talking



"Of course, I agree with you."

"Please make me eat my dinner before you give me a treat."

"I love you more than anyone in the universe."

You get the point. These are only 3 of the inanities that Mama natters[as if on my behalf]. She speaks in a high baby voice, attributing to me that odious pitch. How sad it is for a creature of my noble heritage to be reduced to an anthropomorphized object.

I acknowledge that Mama speaks well [and often] in her own voice.

If I may make one request of you, my friends and faithful fans, please flood my Comments section with pleas to Mama to stop the insanity. If you wish, cut and paste the following line:

Mercury, descendant from an illustrious line of red toy poodles, expresses herself fluently. Please bring this childish game [to give Mama the benefit of the doubt] to an immediate end.

I endorse your demand that your mother bring 'this childish game' to an end, of course. However, her behavior has deep roots in history. I refer you to a fellow poodle (white, but no doubt a distant relative) by the name of "Dzim". He was driven to distracton by similar maternal behavior. Though the circumstances of his escape were murky, I believe he is now living in an ashram somewhere in India. I can only hope he has found peace.
