This Is Gonna Hurt Like a Mother: The Office
When I first heard the phrase “this is gonna hurt like a mother,” I thought it was just a figure of speech. But then I had my first root canal, and I realized that the saying is actually quite accurate. The pain was so intense that I felt like I was going to pass out. I’m not sure what I would have done without the numbing medicine the dentist gave me. That was the first time I used the phrase, “This is going to hurt like a mother.”
Since then, I’ve used the phrase to describe other painful experiences, both physical and emotional. I’ve used it to describe the pain of losing a loved one, the pain of a bad breakup, and even the pain of stubbing my toe. The phrase has become a way for me to express how much pain I’m in, both physically and emotionally.
The Office: A Show About Pain
The Office is a show about pain. It’s about the pain of working in a dead-end job, the pain of being unappreciated, and the pain of being taken for granted. But it’s also about the pain of love, the pain of loss, and the pain of change. The characters in The Office are all flawed and they all make mistakes. But they’re also all human, and they all experience pain.
One of the most memorable episodes of The Office is the episode called “The Injury.” In this episode, Michael Scott burns his foot on a George Foreman grill. The pain is so intense that he has to go to the hospital. While he’s in the hospital, he meets a woman who has cancer. Michael realizes that his pain is nothing compared to hers. This episode is a reminder that everyone experiences pain, and that some people experience more pain than others.
