Does your face light up when your child walks into the room? Lilly and her husband, Dr. Ben Piper, reflect on parenting while playing 'Blame or Claim', a game about the wins they'll take credit for and the fails they'll pin on someone else (her? him?).Lilly and Ben have raised four children in Nairobi, between Ethiopian and Black American traditions. In a rare episode with Lilly in the guest seat as well as the host's, the producers read a card and the couple point: at themselves to claim it, at each other to blame. Who was the easy parent? Who let the kids stay home "sick"? Who threatened to send them back home to Gojjam?The answers are funny and unguarded. Calm sports parent or crazy? You decide: while Ben knows the basketball rulebook well enough to cite it to referees, Lilly calls everything traveling - and every referee in Nairobi knows them both by name. Term breaks meant "Piper Academy": reading, maths and writing, with mixed results. And their kids' friends certainly feared one and loved the other…can you guess who? Then the game turns tender. Lilly reflects on how raising sons revealed how tender the male psyche is, and on Toni Morrison's question about whether your face lights up for your child. At 50, she says, her mother still beams every time she sees her. Ben describes how watching his daughters make their own choices changed how he sees his own mother, and the dreams she held before the decisions she made.What did your parents get right, and what are you choosing to leave behind? And how often do we take the time to ask the questions that might illuminate those important answers.
