We're that family

I remember how I used to wag my head at families I would see at Cracker Barrel where each family member eats and reads, never speaking to one another. "Never, will I be like that," I thought haughtily.

Now that is exactly what we do. And now I think back on those Cracker Barrel families and realize that could be the only way they had to make it through those road trips--ignoring each other. The older I get the more I see the wisdom in the slogan "Whatever it takes."

I've seen families eating where all three kids have little white iPod earphones in their ears. At least your kids will be literate when they grow up.
