Bits and Pieces

Family

When you hear the word "family", you may think of siblings, your parents, or your grandparents.When I hear the word "family", ponies who are more distant come to mind. Take my father, for instance.

Today is a lot better than yesterday. The sun is shining, there's a nice breeze blowing, and nearly everypony is outside. Well, except for my father. He isn't much of a father to me as opposed to somepony I once knew. He took care of me for about three years of my life, but those years weren't all in a row.
There are certain crimes that you'll get busted for in Ponyville. One crime in particular is theft.
My father was a burglar.

Of course, I still have a family who's not so distant: my mother and my siblings. They don't come to mind when I hear the word "family". This might have to do with the fact that I can only remember how sad I was when my dad was arrested and now that I think about it, my brain always remembers the sad and embarrassing as opposed to the good and the happy.
The mind is pretty funny that way, pretty much like life. Maybe when you hear the word "family", you think of your grandmother, who spoils you rotten with hoof-made clothing and doilies, or your hard-working mother who pays all the checks and hardly gets a break.
But it's not like I know who or what comes to mind. The definition of a family is different for everypony. We're all different.

Author's Note:

I know that this one is short,sad,and mostly me/my pony thinking but I thought it would be an interesting topic/chapter. Thoughts?

A'ight, your writing improves but your pacing is just...Whoa. Slow down, Rainbow Dash, or we'll have a Sonic Rainboom on our hands.

When you use the word "family" you might think of a brother,sister,mother,father,grandmother,etc. but when i hear that word I think of more.....distant people. For instance, my father.

Today is a much better day then the last, the sun is shining,wind blowing softly,and everypony is outside. Well, except my father of course, he,well, he isn't much of a father,he is more of a.......a.....just a person,you see my father is in prison,he was a father for about....a little bit more than 3 years of course some of those years weren't in a row. You would think ponyville doesn't have a prison but they do, it's just not talked about much because no one likes to think about it. Not to mention that lots of ponies are good and don't get in trouble but for the ones that are bad get to go to our prison. There are certain things that get you in to prison in ponyville and one of those things is stealing, yes my father is was a burglar.

But I still have a family my brother, sister, and mother. However, they don't pop-up in my head when I hear the word "family" I guess this might be because it's more tragic and the first things my mind remembers is how sad I was when he left and now that I think about it, the brain always remembers the sad or embarrassing parts of your life rather than the good and happy ones. The brain is funny that way. Just like life. Once again you might think of other members of the family like your grandmother who has always spoiled you or your hard-working mother who always ends up paying the checks. I don't know who you think of or even if you think of a person at all, after all, you could think of the definition of "family", for all I know you could think of anything. Like I said before, everypony is different, no matter what.
