Season 1 Episode 2

"Goodbye Mr. Fish" centers around the passing of Rudy's beloved goldfish, Lamont. Cliff forces the entire family to gather in the bathroom for a memorial service. In the end, Rudy is bored and wants to watch t.v.

This made me consider how often I force my agenda on my family. In the name of "building memories," do I make them do things that perhaps they don't enjoy or barely tolerate for my sake? Sometimes the best memories are made in the quiet darkness while sitting on Son #1's bed rubbing his back or cuddling with Son #2 watching a movie or reading a book.
