Yes, it smacked of a conversation with my mother. You know that she'll be unhappy so you just ready yourself for whatever random shit that she's going to say to make you as unhappy as she is.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
My favorite moment in this episode - Don's silent facial gesture to Sally to do what her mother said, which was loaded with sympathy and "I know what you're feeling, but please not now." Very, VERY different than yelling at her cousins the other week.
And that he went in to check on her later that night. If she'd been awake, I suspect there would have been an interesting talk.

“Not dead yet!”
The mother's "you'll get raped" was so far over the line I don't even think you can see the line from there
But again, so, so appropriate for the generation Peggy's mother embodies. The boroughs had very fierce senses of independence and identity, especially Brooklyn, so to Peggy's mother, the idea that her daughter is moving away to Manhattan might as well been as devastating as if she was moving to a foreign country. She sees Peggy pulling away from her and essentially rejecting everything about her upbringing.
Well... and she's a crank who dwells in the Bitter Barn.
ETA: I was wrong about when Brooklyn was incorporated into the City of New York-- it was 1898.

Had?
(When people here ask where I used to live I always say Brooklyn. It would never occur to me to say NY.)

Okay, okay... Sorry, says the girl who was born, yet never lived there. Although, you're totally right, megan. When people ask where I was born, I say Manhattan and have never thought twice about it.

Definitely. (And I also say I was born in "Manhattan" not NY.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hell, I moved to Queens five years ago, and will still talk about going to "the City" when I mean Manhattan. It's Different.
