ordinary life

The story of a couple from their acquaintance to the end of their lives, ordinary and ordinary, are obviously trivial things in life, but they don't seem boring. I think it may be because we see the shadow of ourselves in it.

Our life is probably like this, buying a house, decorating and managing it, getting married and having children, and raising children. In my spare time, I go out and brag with my neighbors, compliment my own children a few times, and go home and feel depressed because the children are disobedient, get into trouble and fight against you.

The gap between the two generations cannot be bridged, the society is developing again, new things are constantly appearing, novelty and fear are superimposed, and the life will be over in a trance. Say goodbye, and if you're unlucky, say goodbye in pain.

I don't know why, but I really like to think more and more about the meaning of life, fame, fortune, rights and affection, whether life brings or death does not bring it with me. In this life, what way should I choose so that I don't regret when I die?

Ethel & Ernest quotes

  • Ethel Briggs: I could have married a deep-sea diver.

    Ernest Briggs: Well, why didn't ya?

    Ethel Briggs: Because I didn't love him.

  • [first lines]

    Raymond Briggs: [voice over] There was nothing extraordinary about my Mum and Dad, nothing dramatic, no divorce or anything, but they were my parents and I wanted to remember them by doing a picture book. It's a bit odd really, having a book about my parents up there in the best seller list among all the football heroes and cookbooks. They'd be proud of that, I suppose, or rather probably embarrassed too. I'd imagine they'd say, "It wasn't like that," or, "How can you talk about that?" Well, I have, and this is their story.
