Ya know that old phrase, "I'm going home to Mother!"?
I don't think it's a cliche`. That is a perfectly viable threat. And she'd take me too. I'll bet Dad would move me. Erik says the new song by Sugarland reminds him of me:
Dear Mom and Dad, please send money.
I'm so broke that it ain't funny
I don't need much, just enough to get me through...
I love you more than anything in the world.
Love, your Baby Girl
Except that we'd have to make rhyme something about radio stations and extreme loneliness, eating chocolate covered espresso beans for dinner, maxed- out credit cards, NJ state income tax and Dad's trailer that he built to move me back to Texas...
