My family is... different. We're kind of a few sets opposites, with a puppy thrown in the mix.
Hubby and I are opposites; our two sons are opposites; even our pet fish are opposites. Maybe opposite isn't exactly the word, but we're definitely not comprised of pairs that anyone would look at and think "Oh yeah! Those two belong together."; yet somehow we just work.
Where I can be unrehearsed and impulsive, hubby is methodical and strategic. Where the teenager is thoughtful and quiet, little guys is a burst of uncouth hilarity. These are the qualities that keep us balanced. The qualities that make a seemingly mundane life actually pretty fun. While I can take any one of these guys alone, it's the combination of us all that I savor! Like fried chicken and Sriracha.
