guests remain with the fun of gossiping whether you married for love or for
money.
It’s fun to return home with the idea that the person you are married to
is somewhat different from the one you knew. But there is no time to think
about it because you are newly-weds and you expect a baby.
There is no better fun for a husband than taking his wife to a maternity
home alone and bringing her back with the twins or triplets.
And this is where the greatest fun starts: washing the new-born’s
nappies and passing away sleepless nights, earning money to keep the
family, taking children to kindergarten and later to school. By all means it’s
fun to attend parents’ meetings and to learn that your children take after you
and don’t do well at school.
The bigger your children grow, the more they resemble you outwardly
and the less they display likeness with you inwardly. And you start
grumbling at them and discuss with your old friends the problem of the
“generation gap”. What fun!
And when at last you and your grey-haired spouse start thinking that your
family life has calmed down, you haven’t divorced but preserved your union,
the climax of your fun bursts out!
One of your dearest offsprings brings a long-legged blonde to your house
and says that he wants to marry. And you think: “Why do people ever get
married?”
Exercise 1. Make up your family tree and speak about your family.
Exercise 2. Choose one of the names in the family tree and say how the
person is related to other people.
Exercise 3. Work in pairs and talk. Imagine that:
a) you are speaking with a distant relative trying to find out what relation
you are to one another;
b) you show your family album to your friend and answer all his or her
questions.
Did you know? A nuclear family is made up of parents and their
children. An extended family includes parents, children, grandparents
and/or uncles and aunts in the same household.
