Krahn's Kvetch

Yeah okay so yet you could just write something down yet on the paper to always just whine about what your mommy has yet done to you with her immer always wanting to know wheres you are going and that you're having to careful be, but is it yet really so bad? Once you could just give it a rest that sure it bugs you that your dad is yet so much to the church going, and then always to work or to the meetings, but that is yet not so bad. He's not at home then yes? Is there so much that is with that wrong? And sure the Sears catalogue takes a beating when you into the bathroom sneak it all the time and the door you lock always even when there's no one at home. And yeah this makes you yet feeamasich Jeschlajchtlich all the times, even now when you're too old for that kind of thing and should be once trying to be grown-up about it. But still it is with you always so much of a thing this guilt that you should maybe immer always do what it is your mommy and daddy want.

So you yet never once can grow up. You are always yet thinking that your mommy will you see doing whatever you are yet doing. Even when she is the grave in and you are away moved, and your daddy is in the old folks home living. Still you are about them so worried. Still you are going to the church in the Sunday morning because you want to yes say when they you ask for what the message about was. And you yet worry about your own children that if you are yet not an adult with your worries still too much by someone else decided that how can they yet grow up to be what you are not?

Still at least you have yourself a marriage bought and a house built and three daughters made. Not like that Alex Portnoy who with his dongle dangling cannot yet keep it long enough in one place. You are yet not so upyamixed. You are yet not to the Seelelea-man going to his ear talk off for as long as it yet takes to a book write down. You are yet able to keep the respectable job and the respectable family and the urges are there but you are them always down-keeping. You are yet going to make it all work once. You are yet going to find what you yet have not.

And when you do, then, oh then will you this have the world to stand up once yet to for you water make. And you will say then to them all how high to make it and when to stop. Then once yet will they all stand to make it, even if it is the wind into, and they must themselves wet make. Then once yet for you all this will even up be. Then once yet for you yourself will you your own decisions make. Not for no one else. Then once yet, on that day, you will your own self to be true.

For now yet though, you have this book finished the reading, and it is for a Pepsi and Revel time to Winkler yet to go once. Do I you jealous make?

I'm a bit jealous, mixed with nostalgia. That's a voice I recognize but I'm not totally comfortable with. I guess that means it's well written?

You know, a guy I met in Montreal back in the 90's told me that the Quebecois would go for a Pepsi and a Mae West - what is it about Pepsi?

Been reading a little too much "Jasch Siemens" perhaps?

Indeed.
You should read Roth's "Portnoy's Complaint" too. I'm pretty sure Armin's read that one too.
