Program Note

 The greatest wish Helen\'s mother had for Helen was to study hard. Now that Helen has become a vet, living away from home, her mother wants her to get married. Suspicious that Helen is already seeing someone, her mother sneaks a look at her Facebook page and discovers that her future \"son-inlaw\" is a woman! Instead of a confrontation, Helen\'s mother chooses to feign open-mindedness, and gradually comes to narrow the gap between understanding and acceptance. A humorous yet touching story about parents who overcome the fear of letting go of their children—who believe that there are penguins at the North Pole—rather than the fear of homophobia. [Jenna KU]
