All I can tell you is that every family on the planet is dysfunctional and we celebrate occasions as generously as we know how to do. We are all doing our best to appear grateful to have one another. Weren't appearances worth something?

About This Quote

Family and relationships are very important to us and we don't want to hurt anyone even if we do not agree with them. We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings and we believe that it is disrespectful to be rude. We always want to look nice and we always try our best to be polite.
