The picture quality is REALLY poor, because I took it with my phone, but hopefully you can tell that there's a mom and dad with a daughter, two sons and two cats to the right, with another son and cat to the left.
THAT'S a first for me. I'm all for representing the blended family, but there's something about this particular thing that just seems weird to me. (I'd say "wrong," but I think that would send a message I'm not trying to send.) I assume it's set up this way because the singular son and cat live in another house, but I guess it just bothers me because it seems to emphasize the separation rather than the "blended" element. If I were the kid on the left, I think it would kind of hurt my feelings.
Or perhaps I'm reading too much into it. I'VE BEEN KNOWN TO DO THAT ON OCCASION.

Hmm. Maybe they just made it balance better. That's my beef with those - I want them to be symmetrical and not slope down on just one side. In short, they are OCD. Mystery solved.
