Ch 5 Sunday Primo finds a desperate email on Doris’ computer and I feel really sorry for her because Sly is a jerk and yes, a married man can rape his wife

Primo: I saw something really disturbing on my mom’s computer.

Me: What?

Primo: She writes out her emails in word and then copies them into her email.

Me: That is disturbing! Why? Why would someone do all that wasted work? It’s so inefficient.

Primo: I don’t know. That’s not the point. I mean, that’s not what was disturbing.

Me: Actually, it kind of is. Why would you draft something in word and then copy it into an email? Just write it in the email.

Primo: I don’t know why. That’s not what I wanted to talk about. So she has all of her files on her desktop—

Me: Why am I not surprised that her computer is disorganized?

Primo: There’s a file called “email to Primo.” I opened it.

Me: As one would. As one does.

Primo: I have never gotten this email from her. She wrote the note a few years ago. I guess she decided not to send it.

Me: What did it say?

Primo: She wrote that my dad wants sex twice a week.

Me: He’s old!

Primo: He is very proud of this, I think. Anyhow, it seems he will just tell her that he has taken a Viagra so get ready.

Me: That is gross. And mean. He doesn’t even ask? He just tells her?

Primo: And she wrote that he is getting really mean. He is angry that she will not watch porn with him. He wanted her to watch a movie about an incestuous threesome—

Me: What was it called?

Primo: Why?

Me: I think I know the movie you are talking about. I got it from the library – I didn’t know it was about an incestuous threesome, but I stopped watching after 15 minutes because it was boring.

Primo: The Dreamers.

Me: That’s it. It was stupid. I am glad I did not watch any more of it if that was the subject matter.

Primo: Anyhow, my dad was angry with her because she wouldn’t watch it with him.

Me: Your dad is a jerk. I am totally on your mom’s side on this one. And your mother should not be sharing that kind of information with you.

Primo: Well, technically, she isn’t. She never sent the email.

Me: Yeah, OK. But she thought about it. She wrote the note. That’s not something she should be sharing with you at all.

Primo: I know, but she doesn’t have anyone else.

Me: You’re right. The really bad part is she should not have to live like this.

Primo: If my dad dies first, I will move my mom up near me. But if she dies first, he is on his own. I put up with him only because I feel so sorry for my mom. Her life is horrible.
