She Said...She Said

Perception is everything. My daughter's perception of any and every situation is so different from mine that I often wonder if she was awake or even present. Over the past years she has, on several occasions, contacted her extensive distribution list of friends, showering them with the odd occurences in her life. Fortunately for them, I have sent them a clearer, more definitive account. I think they have appreciated my version of events, realizing that she left out the more interesting and colorful details.

Like most mothers and daughters, we approach life from different ends of the same spectrum. We let the values and experiences of our generation speak through us, and at times, the results expose a little more about ourselves than we first realized. What comes through so clearly is our love for one another and our ability to opine about everything.
