"Running with Scissors"

      My daughter is in theater and enjoys artsy films.  She has introduced me to many indie movies that I might not have ever known about.  Most of the time, I appreciate her talent for picking fantastic flicks.  Since, Chris, my husband, is playing in an out-of-state racquet ball tournament this weekend,  Kate and I vegged out in front of the television and watched "Running With Scissors".

      During the movie, I kept repeating, "this is beyond creative. How could anyone think these things up?"  Then Kate gave me a quick synopsis to shut me up.  The movie is based on a real life story..."and you know Mom, truth is stranger than fiction".   

      Nominated for Golden Globe and others.  The author, Augusten Burroughs , should be given an award for surviving his childhood. 

    I won't go into any more detail about the movie, I dont' want to give anything away.  But, since I am a real estate professional there was a line in the movie that made me laugh out loud.

      One of the characters  proudly showed off a room attached to his office, his

       "MASTERBATORIUM"

       After that was said, I was totally in shock.  Not because I am prude, but because I thought to myself,

 "How would you sell the place and put that in the MLS remarks". 

     OK, just now for schnitz and giggles I googled "the word"...good grief, it is real!!  It shows up on urbandictionary.com.  I am not supplying a link.  

      I guess I really am a prude.
