Busted!
Okay, it happened. Someone I know read my own written work, so of course I’m in big trouble! (Well, at least a little trouble. Or at least I am being heavily teased.) A member of my own family read this post, and now I have some explaining to do.
So here goes.
When I was writing about family dynamics around the holidays, I was of course not writing about my own family, which is a wonderful group of kind, generous, emotionally mature, and physically attractive people.
Okay, I didn’t manage to write that whole sentence without rolling my eyes and laughing. And since I’m just digging the hole deeper, I should probably just give up and say this:
1) If you are suffering the misfortune of being a member of my family, please know that I love coming home for the holidays, even though sometimes we do have a crazy dynamic; and
2) It’s all the other family members who are crazy, not you and me!!
*sigh* I deserve everything I get!
