I noticed today one of my interactions has been permanently inf; influenced by my Mom. A scar so to speak that has changed me. Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying this in a negative way, more just a neutral observation.
Whenever I hear Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd the first thought to enter my mind is my Mom ranting about how terrible this song is and how irresponsible the band is because they use BAD GRAMMAR!!
"It is clear that these kids really do need education. 'Don't need no'; I mean, really!"
And on and on she would go for the whole song. Through some Pavlovian training I cannot enjoy this song at the highest level because my interaction has been damaged. I cannot hear it without also hearing my Mom too.
Not necessarily a bad thing, just part of the weird mixture that is me.
What scars are you toting around? And are any of them indirectly affecting your more meaningful interactions?

Mike and I laughed out loud at this post because we can just hear your mom saying that and I can do a pretty good Sue impression whilst reading it aloud.
