STRENGTH IN ADVERSITY
I thought I could get closer to my kids if we liked some of the same things. I tried joining a soccer league but I pulled my hamstring. While attempting to surf I got stuck in my wetsuit. And when I entered the same store as them, they disowned me.
Then one Sunday while driving over to Grandma’s for dinner this song came on the radio and we simultaneously all yelled “That Sucks”. We went on and on about how awful it was. Imitating the singer and laughing our heads off. It was great. It’s way too hard to find anything all three of us like, but something all three of us hate? Easy. I just have to bring up our neighbour’s Speedo, Nickleback, or my husband’s mustache … and we are instantly one big happy family.
