In Search of True Perfection

I received a Christmas card in the mail today from a high school friend. It was literally pages long, beautifully designed and captured the entire past year in narrative and photos. It was, by all accounts, the story of the quintessential family, with testimonials as to how perfect each of their 3 children are in their respective extracurricular activities, how rewarding each of the couples’ jobs were, how adventuresome each of their trips were and on and on and on. And it annoyed the hell out of me.
