In response to The Daily Post’s Daily Prompt: Familial Feasts
While growing up, every once in a while (sometimes more than that) there happens to be a time when everyone is faced with a talk with the parents where they are told to do better than they are currently doing in life. This could range from anything in between performing better in studies to being more sporty or even sometimes just being better behaved in general.
And every time one is told to do any of those things which seem so exasperating, there is always this one thing which parents bring up which seem to further make sour the mood the child was already in; and that is draw comparison to that distant aunt’s child (whom we have probably not met for a long, long time).
“Look at Sophie. She always gets straight As.”
“Your aunt Reena’s son is a national champion in swimming.”
“His child sat quietly as we talked. Not once did he disturb us.”
And every time they are told to do better so that they could be comparable to that distant aunt’s son or daughter.
And everyone has been influenced to do great things because of them. Whether or not it actually worked still remains to be deciphered but they have been a part of everyone’s lives, nonetheless.
So, figuring that these relatives have such an important role to play in everyone’s life, it is obvious that there should be a day dedicated to them.
What should be done on this day, I hear you ask? That I leave for you to decide.
I for one would search for the person and find out if he is as great as my parents told him to be. Chances are he would be out searching for me for the same reason as well.
