[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 622548, member: 13542"] Reminds me of that story about the newly married young woman who made a roast and cut off the ends of the roast. The new husband asked his new wife why do you cut off the ends of the roast. She said, my mother always did that. He went to her mother and asked, why do you cut off the ends of the roast. The mother said, I don't know, my mother always did that. He finally asks the matriarch, the grandmother why she cut off the ends of the roast and the grandmother says, "because I didn't have a long enough roasting pan. That story illustrates the "stuff" we learn in our families, the things handed down that we take as truth or history or both and sometimes it turns out that the pan was just not long enough but it still becomes our history. Yikes. [/QUOTE]
