nThis week’s blog prompt is “Is there anything about you only your family understands?” That makes for a short post, because the answer is “No, there’s nothing about me only my family understands.”
n
nTo the contrary, there’s much about me my family doesn’t understand. Some of them accept my strangeness anyway: “That’s just Karen. She’s … unique.”
n
nSo, the title to his blog replicates the title of a book I read when I was a child: The Search for Delicious. The crux of the hero’s quest is that everyone know what delicious is, but defining it remains problematic. Everyone has a different interpretation of “delicious.”
n
nI use that title to allude to our differences in defining and understanding and to suggest that acceptance sometimes means more than understanding. My family doesn’t have to understand me; I just want them to accept me.
