Parents' Weekend

[x_penance]

Parents' Weekend is this weekend. For those who are new, it is the open day where family can come and talk to the teachers and see how their children are going. Like the Parent-Teacher Night, only for the whole weekend.

I know many people here do not have the blood family - I am one of them now. But I was thinking. Family is more than the people whose genetics we are sharing; it is about those people who take a certain place in our hearts, who fill the role of family, even without the genetic connection. So I wanted to perhaps talk about that.

Who in your life do you consider family?

No.

But, as Yvette asked, I don't have anyone here, at the mansion, that I consider family.

And before you point out that there's Alison, have you seen the mess she's still in these days? I think sometimes, she's even allowed to use metal cuterly, instead of plastic. Scott's still in LA...

Who exactly am I supposed to consider family here?

She said who in your life, not who at the mansion, do we need to remand you to remedial reading?

I no longer consider certain people outside the mansion family, either. Family doesn't behave like that.
