for mom

if i had a real lot of money, i would build a lighthouse for my mom (she likes some of them). i think she'd say, "thank you, but i really have no use for a lighthouse of my own and could've used the money for food." and then after i got over the hurt and confusion, i would realize that i had actually built the lighthouse for me to feel better about my relationship with my mom, not because it was something she wanted...so, i'd try to make the best of a bad situation and turn it into a lovely, quaint, bed and breakfast only to surely realize, in short order, that a B & B is more work than money, and then in an effort to not bankrupt myself with the taxes, upkeep, and other expenses, i would end up painting and decorating the lighthouse exterior to look like a huge phallus and turn it into a porno shop. mom won't be proud, but she has only herself to blame.
