FOREWOR

In the past, the Right was considered serious and rarely funny, while the Left took risks with language and ideas, making them perfect comedians. However, the Left now embraces humor and is in a state of anxious denial, causing anxiety among late night comedians. This development has been detrimental to their therapists, as they may still feel personally responsible for getting Trump elected.

PREFACE ONE

The Letter Informing Me That I Might

Be Dying

In 1984, the author returns home from the University of California, Berkeley, to visit their mother in San Mateo. They have a mailbox on the left side of the garage door, and the author remembers a box containing a letter from a major hospital addressed to Mr. Gutfeld. The author, a widow, takes all of the mail now, as he is now Mr. Gutfeld. The author pays bills and answers calls, and their mother's mini station wagon is impeccable. The author's mother is in the family room, a housecoated, white-haired hellion with a cluttered front room, a dog named Gin, and an ironing board.

The family room is cluttered with a TV and a heaviest box of a TV, which weighed more than the people. The author examines a strange painting above the couch, likely purchased at art sales at roadside motels, which is likely a gift from her mother's best friend. The painting is likely a gift from her mother's best friend, who had died a decade earlier.

The author shares their experiences of being charming to people they know too well and who know them too well. They describe how they struggle to communicate with their neurotic mother, who was built like a hydrant and had rubbers in her pocketbook. The author's mother was a bedridden millionaire who left her parents a fortune, but she didn't die in the kitchen. When her mother passed away, the author's parents had appealing choices in their lives. They could go to an all-boys private high school, while their older sisters went to public school.

They considered moving to a bigger house in Hillsborough, but they never moved. The author's experience at high school taught them that stupidity was not related to age, and that if someone had a good life and was still bullying someone, they should die a horrible death. They also discovered that adults can be stupid, too.

In the era of AIDS, the kitchen was a dirty mess with an avocado-shaded fridge, a stacked double oven, and green countertops. The kitchen was small and dirty, with a cluttered counter and a stacked double oven. The narrator read a letter in the kitchen, which revealed that their father had been tested for HIV during a previous surgery. This revelation made sense, as the narrator's father had been sick for a year and had been suffering from cancer for fifteen years.

Childhood had little awareness of mortality, with the author's mother being a terrible cook. As her vision worsened, so did her cooking. The author's mother kept things well past their sell date, and they didn't need everything to be 100% edible. They also found choking hazards in their food, such as Band-Aids, clip-on earrings, or car keys.

The kitchen was also where the author went through the worst drug trip of her life, smoking weed that may have been laced with angel dust. The pot came from one of her sister's boyfriends, a tennis instructor and low-level pot dealer. The author learned to never smoke pot again or play tennis, and the tennis bro handed her a large box of porn mags through her bedroom window since he was leaving town.

In summary, the era of AIDS was a time when children were exposed to the dangers of aging and death. The author's experiences in the kitchen, including her father's death, highlight the importance of understanding mortality and the impact of societal expectations on children's understanding of mortality.

As a child, the author didn't understand her mother's bad news about her father's cancer, which was first diagnosed at four years old. He was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and was given an expiration date, but he started declining rapidly. The author's mother was the
