Is Your Mother's Flaw Going to Find Your Pimple?

Allan alda: Mothers and daughters often look at each other as reflections of themselves. A lot of this is culturally specific, so it's not necessarily that all mothers and all daughters in all cultures behave exactly the same way. The rhythms, the music of speech, the intonation patterns. Humor that isn't field. What can you tell jokes about? How do you let people know that you're joking and that you're teasing? I'm wondering if one of the solutions that might be called for is to exercise both more ampathy, but also a little more compassion for one another.
