The perfect family

As those of you who REALLY know me can tell, I so DESPARATELY want to be PERFECT!!  This drive for perfection has helped me in many ways but, to be perfectly blunt, it has nearly killed me more than once!!!


I so love my family, though, and they know it and this is probably my greatest source of joy in life!  What is REALLY funny is that, just as I have learned a bit about dealing with imperfections in myself and my family, THEN God gave me this poem.


I dedicate this to all of you out there who want to have the perfect family!  This is how to do it!

How To Create The Perfect Family

You will need:
1 large house
3-6 people, depending on how long you want to wait for it to be done
3 cups of pets
2 cups of patience
3 ounces of anger/frustration
3 quarts of laughter
4 teaspoons of trust
And last but definitely not least,
Lots and lots of love

First, open the house, and make sure that it will be the right size for your family. Mix the desired amount of people with the pets, carefully so you don't damage them. In a separate bowl, stir the love and laughter together. Set aside. Taking each person separately, evenly distribute the patience and trust, making sure that each one gets an equal amount (Failure to distribute evenly may lead to different recipe! See recipe for "My impatient family" for details...). Carefully open the bottle of anger/frustration. Using a Q-tip, dab small portions of the anger/frustration onto each person. Lastly, take the love and laughter and sprinkle it all over the house, pets, and people. Let sit until all parts of the recipe are thoroughly combined, and voila! Your Perfect Family is complete.
