While Kim Kardashian (and that 72-day marriage that earned her 19
million bucks) represents one facet of God-fearing family values, I
prefer my friend Kimberly’s grasp of the concept. Her son Trevor wanted
to celebrate his eighth birthday at
Hooters so off they went. Not to be outdone, his sister asked to celebrate her 15
th
birthday at a drag-queen cabaret. Last Friday Carly Jeanne, her mom and
a few assorted friends went to Diva Night at San Diego’s
Lips, which bills itself as “The Ultimate in Drag Dining.” A marvelous time was had by all.
My, they grow up fast...
Carly Jeanne and her brother may be two of the sanest young people I
know. Part of that is from necessity; the father died when they were
children, their mother’s battle with lung cancer; but they are mostly a
testament to being raised with true family values. Work hard, understand
that failure and disappointment is part of life, tell the truth and be
kind.
