about

Families come in all shapes and sizes. We hope this song translates even without the visual aid of the beautiful 24'x1' stickman scroll made for us by our director, Paul Gilger.

lyrics

Well I was riding along the other day
When I stopped behind a mini-van, a big old Chevrolet
And it had those little stickman figures representing their family
Well there was one for the Daddy and one for the Mom
There were two-point-five children tagging along
and a cat and a dog and a Guinea pig and gosh, oh gee

It was the perfect family, the perfect family
All stuck up on the tail end of that mini van

(So I started wondering what it would look like if Richard and I put our family up on the back of the car like that, and here’s what we came up with):
There’d be my husband and me, and my two boys, then we’d add the boys’ dad and his wife (because they have a little sister over in that other house and she’s a real important part of their life)
My husband has a son a little younger than me (from a shot-gun situation back at university) And that wonderful son has three kids of his own

And it’s our perfect family, our perfect family,
It’s perfect because it’s ours
Our perfect family, our perfect family
More perfect than stickers on cars

Grandma who’s a hundred comes to live with us at times and she brings along three large Fijian nurses (they’re the best!)
Then we have another son who’s in and out of rehab, when he’s home we hide our wallets and our purses

Then we have another college kid who’s doing pretty good, but we never seem to hear from him till he’s running out of food
And the goldfish never seem to stick around for more than 7 days
Who the hell is this kid? Oh yeah. My son has a friend who doesn’t seem to have a home,
so we feed him and we clothe him and we give him a comb and no matter how we hint the kid just stays and stays and stays…. but he’s starting to grow on us

So it’s our perfect family, our perfect family
It’s perfect because it’s ours
Our perfect family, our perfect family
More perfect than stickers on cars

Our family is blessed even though it’s a mess to try to boil it down to stickers on a windshield Our great big blended, hyper-extended, lovingly defended, frequently on-the-mended, perfect family!
