Mothers and Daughters: Do You Pass the Friendship Test?
How good of friends are you with your mother or your daughter? This little test will give you the answer and let you know in what areas you are deficient. Simply put a checkmark in the appropriate column.

| 2. Are you able to anticipate ways to make life more pleasant and pleasurable for the other? | ________ | ________ |

If you are wise and lucky enough to have achieved a friendship that rated 10 checks in the left-hand column, you have something very special to celebrate and savor. If, on the other hand, your checkmarks are lined up unanimously in the right-hand column, you have not yet found the prize package at the bottom of your Cracker Jack box.
