Why, honey?

The short story ”Why, honey” by Raymond Carver was a story about a mother
and her son, and the son didn’t have a father in the text. The son had been
strange pretty much all his life, especially his teen age.  The boy had
been lying about everything and after the son bought a shotgun and knife
mum freaked out.

After mum found t-shirt full of blood she got enough and moved away and
changed her adress, name and phone number and pretty much everything.
Mum saw her boy gaining land on politics and achieving thing in his life
and big letters in magazines tellimg about it. She thought that she should
be the proudest mother in the country but no, she’s only afraid. She saw a
man staring at her from a car and ran to her house and locked doors. She
thinks she is under spying but there no really evidence.

I think the mother is writing to her son. Its pretty obivous because as the
mother said ” if you have resources it is easy to find someone” and thats
prety much what is happening. Boy hated mums spying. Now the boy is spying
on his mom.
I don’t think the book as realiable one. Mum couldn’t trust his son but
then she is telling story of her life to anonymous person.
