The eternal Mother of us all. Her pendulous breasts, ripe belly, and exposed genitalia may make modern women blush. But they have not forgotten how to smile. The laughter from the kitchen rips through the night air to where we are standing outside sharing a smoke. But I see he is really curious and perhaps even a bit intimidated, which makes me smile back at him like a cat with feathers stuck in its mouth.
Mystery is good.
And the wild way in which women can laugh is a mystery to men. Joking aside, it is true. But there are also those bouts of belly laughs that erupt from our appreciation of the raw, earthy, side of our natures and they are equally as cathartic. They are also more fun. This business of women laughing raucously over raunchy material is what feeds and fuels a now, more repressed, part of our nature.
