I'm currently visiting my mom and flew my daughter and two granddaughters here. A moment of venting please... we all went to the zoo today. My mom in wheel chair, daughter pushing stroller with one child, the other walking along. My son came too. But sheesh, what a meltdown driving home -- daughter wanting to stop at a particular ice-cream store, Mom saying how ridiculous that is, how out of the way, we're too tired, etc. So, whom should I accommodate?

I told mom how special my duaghter perceived it to be, etc., and did she know any others that fit this particular description, which she didn't. We stopped and she had some too (I don't even eat ice cream). Each one has her perticular way of seeing me. I'm the elephant, and they're the blind men describineg me. Each knows a part, but neither knows me completely. But also, neither can even understand that!
