The Ties That Bind

My nephew Joshua just turned 12 and lives in scenic Vermont.

My sister Jill just updated me on their recent cultural activity: After a Bread and Puppet production this summer, Joshua said, "Just go ahead and tell me I'm adopted. That was the worst reenactment of Othello I've ever seen. Nobody I'm related to would ever appreciate that."

...

"Godspell?" I said a little too loudly at the last amateur outdoor performance I ever attended. "More like God-Awful!"

Discerning taste just runs in our blood.
