Podemos
fingir que nuestra familia es feliz o podemos hacer como Mafalda: asumir que
ninguna es perfecta, pero que eso es lo que las hace unicas, acogedoras,
nuestras.
La familia es la base de la sociedad , leyo Miguelito; y de inmediato penso:
?La familia de quien? La mia no tiene la culpa de nada.
En esta familia no
hay jefes, somos una cooperativa . Lo dijo Mafalda cuando un vendedor llamo a
su puerta preguntando si el jefe de la casa podia salir al rellano.
Evidentemente, la nina entendio que en los tiempos que corren eso era una
tonteria. Si hay algo que haga aun mas fuertes los vinculos entre padres e
hijos, es la capacidad de esta para repartir tareas, para deshacerse de los
roles estupidos que la sociedad impone y para encontrar el carino en los
defectos de sus componentes. Mafalda lo sabe muy bien, y las vinetas de Quino
lo demuestran: la unica certeza sobre las familias es que solo seran felices
aquellas conscientes de que nunca, jamas, seran perfectas.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
We can pretend that our family is happy or we can do like Mafalda: assume that no family is perfect, but that is what makes them unique, welcoming, ours.
The family is the base of society, read Miguelito; and immediately thought: Whose family? Mine is not to blame for anything. In this family there are no bosses, we are a cooperative. Mafalda said it when a salesman knocked on her door asking if the head of the house could go out to the landing.
Obviously, the girl understood that these days it was nonsense. If there is one thing that makes the bonds between parents and children even stronger, it is their capacity to distribute tasks, to get rid of the stupid roles that society imposes and to find love in the defects of its components. Mafalda knows this very well, and Quino’s vignettes demonstrate this: the only certainty about families is that the families who are happy are those who understand that they will never, ever be perfect.
