Episode 06
So we have a friend who tells our son that she is his actual mother. Strange. And with awkward implications. And even though little Joe is not old enough to understand what any of this means, I imagine it must be confusing to hear.
When I was a few years old, I remember having a very vivid dream that involved me discovering that one of my mom’s friends was actually my real mom and that my mom was an imposter. I was pretty upset about this for a few days, enough that I remember the event more than twenty years later. But my mom convinced me that she had an even more vivid memory of giving birth to me so I’ve moved on. And I try not to think of it.
