DAD: Your mother stayed home from work yesterday. And today. She's got a cold.

[Later]

MOM: "I know where I stand with respect to you guys."

ME: "What do you mean?"

"When you called, your Dad made me get the phone. Sadie [daschhound] and Mollie [chihuahua mix] were sleeping on his lap and he didn't want to wake them up."

"Rough life."

"Yeah. So many decisions. 'Do I sleep on my back? Or on my stomach today?'"

Seriously?
I envy the lucidity of your home!

Well, you're only getting highly edited excerpts here. I'm sure that we're probably no more lucid than the next family.

Oh hey, if you had been raised in a lucid and communicative setting you might have no realistic sense of the dysfunctional neurosis most survive!

Yes, thankfully, I was raised in a pretty loving, communicative environment. So it's quite possible that I'm naive about how functional other families are.
