Your Mom

Finally.
An appropriate, politically-correct conversation starter for family holidays.
Instead of starting with a bang and opening the family meal with Rebecca Todd Peter's
Prayer of Confession, we can skip ahead.
Over the turkey, we no longer need provocative stats like, "did you know the average
American cat eats more protein than a child in a third-world country?"
Instead, we can suggest a family road trip to see The Blind Side.
It is a catalyst to future discussions on inequality, personal responsibility, and social justice because this could be
your mom.
