Family Stories

There were 3 of us in the car, sharing gloomy side of our family.
A story spilled from her lips,
How she ever got dragged-hair-pulled from attic to downstairs.

Another story spilled from another lips... a darker one.
About her aunt, maybe i should just skip this one... my turn...

"I don't remember ever being slapped or hit by my mom..."
but wait,wait! :D I hastily catch up,
delighted to show off my version of f*cked up family tales.

This chinese new year, in an usual "let's get over this" family gathering.
I was called into a room, and shoved some photos,
"Here... look at these... these are your father's (bastard) kids...
Oooh... can't imagine how they've grown up now..." in a sighing somehow excited voice.

I consider myself as an epic fail chinese who doesn't believe in superstitious,
but shouldn't we keep the positive energy during chinese new year?
Bastard siblings photos are baaaad energy.

Back to 3 of us in the car. 3 stories, and more hidden beneath.
and that's why whenever a happy family shown to me,
bitterness shrieks: "There must be something, SOMETHING wrong with yours too!"

Then came in my mind a happy family i know in Australia.
Their eyes speaks kindness. Whenever the kids do wrong, Mom n dad explain and share their thoughts, unlike many others who "baby talk" or simply ignore their kids.
Bitterness shrieks, but to be true, Sappy thoughts also appeared,
Please, let them be happy.
