I Love You, Stinky Face

Product Information

Similar to the flehman response is the blep—a cat’s adorable habit of not quite retracting its tongue all the way. Here, the cat is “smelling” its environment by collecting pheromones that are passed to the vomeronasal organ. It might look silly and cute like a flehman response, but cats do it for a reason.

But mama, what if I (become a drug addict, fail out of school, marry someone of the same sex, be different from you etc) would you still love me then? Why does it become different then? Why did I grow up thinking and feeling that if I wasn’t exactly a certain way that people wouldn’t love me? And I came to realize it’s not because I wasn’t worthy of love, but because the people around me (my parents, grandparents, teachers etc) were taught that I was a measure of their success or failure as a parent or educator. That their worth was based in my perceived success.

The Big Bossman had the (dis)honor of being the first recipient of the Stinkface. This became one of Rikishi's signature moves, and he used it in many of his matches. My kids are there own people. They will make their own mistakes, have triumphs that might occur outside of things I agree with (like pursuing certain professions that I find despicable), or be in relationships with people I hate.

My only TRUE responsibility is to make sure they feel loved, nurtured and supported by me-as is.
