No such thing as a normal family
April 28th 2008 08:14
"There's no such thing as a normal family," my writing teacher said. "Every family is dysfunctional."
I agree to that somewhat. What is a normal family anyway? Mother, father, 2.5 kids, dog, white picket fence? I highly doubt it. A normal family can't be defined, and that's the beauty of it. Every family is different. Every family is colorful. Every family has its quirks, and that's what makes it your own family. Dysfunctional? Maybe not in the medical sense of the word. Every family has its own chips and kinks, things some members of the family have to repair and patch up. For as long as they don't let these little setbacks get in their way of being connected, then they remain to be a family in the true sense of the word.
Tell me about your family. Or describe your family in one word.

Family, version 01 (for first family) and dot . trial (for future unclear).
Does that help Toni?
