Sandy Sue Is the Expert

Sandy Sue is the expert after all
Our determined mother said smugly. 
She is the one who understands psychology
Better than any of you ever could.

We three have no knowledge of psychology
because we are still  five, six, and seven
in Mom’s mind, so we sit quietly, 
eagerly awaiting the expert’s arrival.

Sandy Sue is mom’s hairdresser, a proponent of self,
super confident, without impediment of college degree at all.
She whirls in to straighten us out, to psychoanalyze us.
Concerned in no way that we each have a doctorate in psychology.

Maurice Rigoler Date: 4/3/2020 4:35:00 AM Love this one, Karen, and so true. As for history, I see as the rear view mirror of human and nonhuman activities. Thanks for the compliment. / M Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 4/4/2020 1:54:00 AM You are welcome my friend. Stay safe! Stay home!

Panagiota Romios Date: 4/3/2020 2:45:00 AM Like this one.. We with degrees sometimes are quite pompous and think knowledge only belongs to us. I prefer the knowledge of those who simply are themselves. Butterfly hugs, Panagiota xx Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 4/4/2020 1:55:00 AM I have to admit I know some people who are extremely advanced and more intelligent than all the degreed people I know. This was just for fun, of course. Thanks for stopping by.
