My mother had been in the Soviet whirlpool for eleven years by this point. Enough time, I imagine, to unlearn the bourgeois habits of her native Brooklyn, to accustom herself to the farting and shouting of her neighbours, to doing her washing by hand in the collective tub, to keeping her dry food locked up in her wardrobe

Despite what you might believe right now, your son__ future is bright. You only need the right tools to help him get there.

According to most studies on the subject, boys who grow up without fathers grow up at a disadvantage.
