"He's had a very hard life. His family is just....crazy!"
"He doesn't KNOW any better...we just need to be patient and love him and show him the way".
"Sorry mom, we HAVE to leave early again because he REALLY needs to go home (and get blotto)"
"No mom, the empty foils of sleeping pills are from a LONG time ago. No, really."
"He's never held down a job in his life because he's a depressive type A personality (whatever the hell that was!) and he simply can't handle the *stress* of working full-time"
