Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.

'Daddy, there's Victor, only he has more white hairs now.' (about our neighbor 3 doors down who is a regular reader of McClelland Family.com)

'Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.'

Nobody has ever before asked the nuclear family to live all by itself in a box the way we do. With no relatives, no support, we've put us in an impossible situation.

I hope they get here soon. The kids are biting at the chomp.
