Do we dare go after the holiest of institutions, that bastion of reverence known as Motherhood and Fatherhood Do we take a chance ticking off the entire world After all, we're either a mother or a father or a son or a daughter. . . . Are we, indeed, on Shaky ground Have we finally gotten to the one thing that we shouldnt poke fun at Is the sanctity of our home life the one untouchable
Nah
Throughout the ages, the one constant in literature, music, film, politics, and life has been the love/hate relationship we have with our parents or kids. Whether weve sucked up to them to get what we want or weve ignored and alienated them; family is the cornerstone for the majority of headaches that we deal with on a daily basis. We love them, we hate them, we resent them, we loathe them . . . but unfortunately, no matter what, they still show up on Thanksgiving and eat the big turkey leg.
With that said, whats a better gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparents Dayhell any daywhere you can tell your loved ones exactly how you feel.
But one word of caution. . . . Be careful. They know all your deep, dark secrets.
