A Story About a Boy and his Mama

By Every Family's Got One Guest Writer -- Neil Kramer Image from rawpixel.com My mother was in her yoga class in Boca Raton last week, doing one of her chair exercises, when another woman accidentally moved the chair that my mother was leaning against for support.

She’s OK now, or “Perfectly fine,” as she always says, and already back in the exercise class. [...]

A Story About Falling Out of a Car

By Every Family's Got One Founder -- Barbara Herel I remember falling out of a car. It is a slow-moving car on a busy thoroughfare. Somehow the passenger door opens and I can feel myself falling out of the car, head first, in slow-motion. For most of my life, I’ve had this reoccurring dream. Now, I don’t remember... ever falling out of a car as a child. There is no family lore. No charmingly hilarious story about the time Barbara fell out of a car and landed on top of her head on, say, Stuart Avenue. But I’ve had this car [...]
