SATIRE, OF COURSE!

Thank you so much for setting me on the right path. You’re making Michael great again.

“What a load of nonsense” was your opening salvo in response to this story …
I’ll admit that at first I was a bit taken aback.
However, after careful reflection on the loving and kind, but spirited, tone in which you responded I now think about your intro differently.
I see it now as an expression of tough love and as a way to get my attention for the important lessons and corrections you delivered. Your subliminal message now means everything to me.
I now see “What a load of nonsense!” like the vigorous shake one must occasionally deliver to a wailing infant. It’s an attention-getter, sure to startle, but opening the way for the well-reasoned discussion to follow. I benefited in just the same way a distressed infant would, so thank you.
