Dying of Politeness

A good passage

Many years later, the fabulous Polly Bergen would play my mother in the series Commander in Chief, and I was stunned to hear her liberally dropping the F-bomb on set and making very racy comments. I asked her about it, and she said, ‘Oh, honey, when you get old, you just don’t give a fuck anymore.’

I’m trying to not give a fuck before I’m old-old, but I can see that she’s right. I’m pretty sure I’ll be one salty old broad when I get there.
