Transcript:
Cathy: How are you feeling about us, honey? Irving: Great. Cathy: I'm so glad. Irving: Don't you want to know how I got to "great"? Cathy: Excuse me? Irving: The path I took? The wrong turns I made? The signs that helped me learn to trust my heart to lead me back on course? The process of self-discovery that's allowed me to give myself permission to feel of about feeling good about feeling great?? DON'T YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR ME TO SHARE MY JOURNEY?? Cathy: You're hoping I'll be repulsed by your emotional neediness and will beg you to go play golf today. Irving: That's the problem with speaking their language. They understand it.

Man I have not heard anything about Rosetta Stone in ages. For a few years back in the 2000s it did get a lot of attention. I understand it is/was useful to get a very simple base of a language for conversational purposes but was panned by language experts as they said it did not explain grammar and only provided students with a limited vocabulary. I took the criticism with a grain of salt as these experts did not want to see their livelihood threatened by this program. I did not have a dog in the hunt but was always curious as to how Rosetta was different than the good old Berlitz language courses.

Under normal circumstances, I’d say that if Irving has nothing else that NEEDS to be done around the house and wants to go play golf, then he should be “allowed” to do so without catching a bunch of flack for it. I don’t know what he does for a living, but I’m sure he works just as hard at his job five days a week as Cathy does at hers and is just as deserving of some relaxing and much-needed down-time every now and then as she is.
But their situation isn’t a “normal” one. Given that a couple of useless, worthless mooches — aka: Irving’s parents — live with them (rent-free, no doubt!), I can see why she wouldn’t want him running off for a fun day of golf on a Sunday afternoon, even if there’s nothing else around there for him to do ….. because it would leave HER stuck at home to deal with those horrible, whiny complainers (especially his mother) all by herself which, if that were ME, I wouldn’t like or appreciate him doing either!

Men think emotions are for having. Women think emotions are for talking about.

A valiant effort from Irving, but a pretty uncanny response from Cathy. Are they a match made in heaven or what?
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, Clan.

And when he’s retired she’ll be glad to let him go play golf…
