If I asked you to tell me a story about your family, what story would you extol and who would be the center of that story? Your parents, grandparents, or someone else?
The challenge with family stories is like fables and myths, they merge into the fabric of the past generations. Over time, the story becomes filtered and tend to ameliorate the plot line and unfortunately, many stories get "lost", so we end up telling fewer of them.
A story doesn't have to be moralistic or have a valiant outcome. Today, we are all more hurried in our actions, work, eat, family time, sleep, repeat. Our ancestors didn't have the same technology we do, so their family time was spent telling stories.
