Straight and Narrow, by Mark Tulin

Audrey was proud. Her mom gave her the job of being the family mole.
“I’m giving you this assignment because I know you can handle it,” mom said.
“I won’t let you down,” Audrey replied.
In the next few months, Audrey paid strict attention to her siblings. She made sure they weren’t mistreated and that their children were well-behaved. Her job was to keep the family on the straight and narrow.
Audrey would report monthly to her mother and give status reports.
Little did Audrey know, however, that her mother had employed a second family mole to watch over her.
Crow On The Wire 
The quintessential dysfunctional family.
They sure are. 🙂
Oh that’s funny! I wonder how many families had those…including mine.
A lot 🙂🙂
