Hi Dave. How you doing?
I’m good. So, this is for Empire, so you can swear. Me? Swear?
I know, I know…
My mother — my sweet 85-year-old mother, a public school teacher for 35 years, the most altruistic, brilliant, wonderful, loving, kind, generous woman of all time — still to this day has never said a swear word in her life. Never. Not “goddamn”, not “bitch”, not “fuck shit piss”. Then she gives birth to me! And I make up for her long life of being such a sweet woman. I’m making up for lost time for the both of us.
