I was talking about sarcasm with my t this week. I was telling him that I strongly identified with a friend here on pc who said they dont do anger, but boy we can both do sarcasm. All of a sudden I realized, one reason I probably got away with it at home was, my mother didnt understand english well enough. Once she saw me laugh at my own crack, she probably laughed too, even if it was indirectly directed at her. It was probably the only safe way for me to vent my anger - some oblique sarcastic remark.
