There's a family that we, the Vu's, call the
perfect family. They have this fake leave it to beaver facade that doesn't fool me. If anything, it's families like that are probably the most problematic and need the most therapy. Their fantastic stage production is not the topic of the day, it's all about me again.
So perfect family's mom was at our house when I returned from Buffalo. I hadn't seen her for months. When she saw me she exclaimed, "Oh, wow Joe you looked like you gained weight." It was such an obvious lie because I know I haven't, but I actually sort of believed it and it made me feel good. I just realized how easy it is to believe something we want to. Lie or not it was nice to hear so I think it's only fair that I look for someone I know who is trying to lose weight and say, "My, my you look like you've lost weight." Is it wrong to puff egos?
