Darling daughter – DD – and I were watching TV this weekend and someone made a reference to Freud. So, DD asked me, “Who’s Freud?” I said he was the father of modern psychology.
DD: “What’s his whole name?”
Me: “Sigmund Freud.”
She paused.
DD: “I thought Sigmund Freud had a tiger act in Vegas.”
Me (choking): “I think you mean Sigfried and Roy!!”
DD: “Whatever — it’s the same thing!”
Yep — I gotta see Freud’s tiger act the next time I’m in Vegas!!
Really, in some ways, Freud’s theories were a tiger act. Sexual tension, danger, control, theatrics – it’s all there. 🙂

Just shows how times do change. Ego is still around, but who ever mentions superego or id (except maybe wizard of) any more? Me, I’m happy that psychologists have a healthier view of women now.
