[Burgbud]

(Corri) I never brought home the losers. I always brought home losers that I wanted someone to tell me 'he isn't a loser' version.

Could be. But when I get it out of school... last thing I go and do is tell.

When it is good.... I do good. And the minute it is no longer good, I go and tell. Otherwise, I'm just too dam busy. Cats yowl. Dogs do.

I hold out the possibility that Mojo interacts with the world differently than you do.

You could have said, "Mojo, I wouldn't have brought this guy up in the manner you did unless something about him was unsettling to me. Is something about him unsettling to you?" Instead you said (essentially), "Mojo, you brought this guy up because something about him is unsettling to you. What is it?"

My perspective is that you were regarding her in large part as an extension of yourself.
