The three words for Three Word Wednesday (3WW) CLIX are "frustrate", "indecent" and "understand". Here's a little scene around that...
"I don't understand why you watch those films. They're rubbish."
"Mum," she said, "I love horror movies."
"They're indecent. They're filth. They will turn you into a tramp. I try to bring you up a good catholic. Why do you throw all that away?"
"It's just for fun, Momma. It's not a religion. It's a fantasy. It helps me forget about school, and stuff; all my frustrations."
"What?" said Momma. "You have it so easy. You're ungrateful. You have nothing in your life to frustrate you, you understand? Nothing! Don't walk away when I'm talking to you. Hey, I'm talking to you."

Good show. I like the way this flowed, like a snapshot in time.
Wonderful read. True to life...
One can relate with that so well...
commas and all

This story doesn't ring true with me Bernard - I grew up in a catholic family and we didn't talk that much ;-)
