That's just it. When you live on a farm or have friends that are farmers you get a slice of life that is far more rich than when you live in the suburbs or city.
"What got me thinking was a new comedy named the Master of None. It is an American comedy television series, which was released for streaming on November 6, 2015 on Netflix.[1] The series was created by Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang, and stars Ansari in the lead role of Dev, a 30-year-old actor who attempts to make his way through life in New York City."
In the episode the stars are taking their immigrant parents to thank them for their sacrifices. The parents are very stiff and quiet. The one father was served chicken and in a daydream kind of scene he was thinking how when he was a little boy his playing with a chicken he was called into the house. His father handed him a knife and sent him to kill the chicken. That reminded me of Tommy sorting things out for himself at the dinner table.
Don't read into it. It was not a traumatic experience. It was just an observation on my part.
