I am from

What’s for dinner?

Are we there yet?

Stop poking me!

I am from my ordinary New England family.

 

But I am also from

Can you say prayers?

OCD put to good use

Credibility issues

The Heffalump.

 

I am from every flaw in my ancestry

Every inside joke

Every shoulder to lean on

and hand to grasp

when times get too rough

for any but my own blood to stand beside me.

I am from every song.

 

I am from loving not liking

Tolerating not adoring

Are we having fun yet?

Making Christmas memories �" if it kills us.

I am from “I was really happy to see you… 15 minutes ago.”

I am from

“You know what, Catharine? I really like you.”
