A thought

My mother, in our conversation on Sunday, mentioned that the daughter of a friend of hers, who is in high school or college, I don't know which, was in class and the teacher asked anyoen whose parents were still married to each other to raise their hand. She was the only one who did. That's a terribly frightening statement. Thank G-d, that's not the case for the parents' of my friends, from the list I am bringing to mind. But still- it's strange to think that I'm living in a society where that's the case. Doesn't match the interal patterns (based on my family and assorted fiction) well at all.

Not sure where I"m going with this, but it's late, I should have been asleep a while ago, and it came to mind.
