My sister and I have vastly different personalities and my family has a theme song.
Seemingly unrelated, no? Let me recount the following conversation so that you understand.
Mrs. Chicken: (having just received news of a fabulous freelance writing assignment) I got the job!
Karen: (uttering various and sundry forms of congratulations) What did Channing say?
Mrs. Chicken: He said, "that's great," and then reminded me of our motto.
Karen: You have a family motto? Really? We have a family theme song. (Demonstrating my ability to make everything about me.)
Mrs. Chicken: Yes, we do. You have a theme song?
Karen: Yeah! It's Bob Marley, Three Little Birds. You know, "every little thing's gonna be alright..."
Mrs. Chicken: That figures. Ours is "Don't Fuck Up."
******
Therein lies the difference.
