Family is something you’re born into, with its own quirks, strengths, and flaws. Life with them brings both happy moments and challenges, making family a source of comfort and frustration.
My husband and I have a rule: no phones during dinner. Last night, his phone lit up during our meal. He ignored it, but then it buzzed repeatedly, and he shouted, “OH NO! MOM!” He called the police and rushed out.
An hour later, he called, sounding exhausted. His mom had told him there was a burglary, but it turned out someone just stole her potatoes. By the time she clarified, two police officers had already arrived, and my husband was left embarrassed trying to explain the mix-up.
