When I was young, a family was a mother, a father, and their two or three children. That traditional definition has been severely challenged over the last twenty years. What about single parents? What about people raising their grandchildren? There are many other examples.
I looked to see how our "greatest minds" defined the family. My favorite definition comes from Ogden Nash:
A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold.
I think that sums it up very nicely.
