Franklin TV: Motherhood - Time for new family

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 09/07/2025

Our American linguagem is decorated with idiomatic expressions; quips, bromides, and turns of phrase. “ Let’s Belly up to the bar, boys.” “ I’m up in the air on this issue.”

Among these, there were ‘gloriously unassailable triplets’. Word groupings that conveyed our most essential, universally valued ideals. The ‘triplet’ was a common associative device of advertising.

The stentorian announcer always noted that Superman was fighting to defend, “ Truth, Justice, and the American Way.” (umm- Can someone get Soop on the phone?) Then there was, “ American as Baseball, Apple Pie and Chevrolet.”

Another biggie many of us have heard, “Justice, Motherhood and Highway Safety”.

These days? Justice has been taking on some collateral damage. Highway safety? In Massachusetts? Have you seen how some idiots drive? Cheez Looeez!

But then, there’s ‘Motherhood’. If there’s a gloriously unassailable ideal, this is it. Where would this world be without moms? Motherhood is such a primal instinct that high-tech developers seek to insert a core ‘mothering’ directive into their AI systems as the ultimate reality check and psychological safety mechanism.

A mother’s protection.

Glorious Motherhood is coming to Franklin TV. Our staff member Meredith is due in September, and our baby shower ‘send-off’ was a great opportunity to celebrate. We wish Meredith all the good and wonderful things of momhood.

FYI: Her name means, ‘protector of the seas’. A mother’s protection.

And, no – she’s not having triplets.

And – as always –

Thank you for watching. 

Thank you for listening to wfpr●fm.

And staying informed at Franklin●news.
