My mom's retirement party is in about 2 weeks. What's the noteworthy opportunity occasioned by such an event?
A. Celebrate the achievements of this remarkable woman, who re-invented herself in midlife and forged a fulfilling career, making substantial contributions to her community
B. Connect with beloved family members, whom I barely ever have a chance to see much less spend a little time talking to
C. Exquisitely dress my child

So cute!
The answer's C, right?

if you were a freshman composition student, the answer would be something like
"Since the beginning of time, man has belonged to a family. All cultures have the idea of family, but there are many differences and similarities between them. I have a family, and I enjoy my family. They are very important to me. In summary, family is an important part of who we are."

[shudder] Dead-on parody, tamsterino. gawd, I'd forgotten what it was like to plow through a pile of 20 or so essays like that.

Eeeeek! I LOVE having a girl, if only for the improved selection of clothing. The blue is divine. (Oh, and congratulations to your mom as well.)
P.S. She sounds a LOT like my mom, who returned to college 17 years after being pulled out by her frugal and sexist family, only to later become an English prof, a dean, a vice-chancellor, and now ED of the cultural discovery and learning center at her university. I couldn't be prouder... and so I am enjoying vicarious pride on your behalf as well!

P.S. Tam, isn't that a GWB quote? *ponders*
