Ingredients:
1 Peaceful Atmosphere
1 Handful of People (Including 1 or 2 strong, nurturing parents and 1 or more biological or adopted children. For added happiness, include up to four grandparents) Variation: Add pets with or without grandparents.)
1 Large Sense of Appreciation
1 Part Respect for Each Family Member (no matter how young and including pets)
1 Daily Dose of Laughter (for additional happiness add extra laughter)
1 Part Kindness for Each Family Member (including pets)
Directions:
Sift through atmosphere to remove tensions, yelling, and all hints of violence, leaving home atmosphere peaceful. Different opinions are acceptable, and expressing differences of opinions is encouraged. Use care to express those different opinions in a peaceful manner.
Add people, being careful not to allow people to contaminate the atmosphere with material that has been sifted out.
Stir in appreciation. This may cause the mix to overflow with appreciation, and that is to be expected.
Add respect. (Growing respect at home is encouraged, but all respect will grow once it has been added to the mixture. If home-grown respect is desired plant seeds with commitment to respect and water as needed.)
Fold in at least one daily dose of laughter. Additional laughter can be added to mixture at any time.
Top mixture with generous sprinkling of kindness.
Place prepared ingredients into home, nurture, and allow to flourish for as many years as possible. Opening an oven door before the happy family is finished growing is acceptable because happy families are much sturdier than cakes are. Sentimental tears will appear at some point, and those are fine. Tears of sadness, however, should be kept to a minimum if at all possible. (If tears of sadness arise add more respect, kindness, and laughter.)
Cooking Time: Forever - Because a happy family goes on forever in any number of ways.
