How to Raise Your Parents
Parents are sometimes a little much to handle, but Grace Coberly let's you in on how to keep them under control in her piece, "How to Raise Your Parents." She explains how they are just like us, confused and scared, and trying to find their place in the world. They need your help to adjust to everything like you need them. Coberly did a great job of describing parents with humor.
While reading this piece, I found myself laughing, many times. She depicts parents as teenager and in doing so, shows all the similarities between the two. For example, "In your teen years, your parents will go out of their way to pick fights with you." You would usually think that about teenagers but Coberly turns it around. This was so much fun to read and really changed my perspective on my relationship with my parents
