The serious business of fun

There are the places you expect to find joy, and there are the places where it finds you, writes Sara Shukla. Sometimes, that place is a yo-yo competition in Massachusetts.
The article by Sara Shukla on WBUR.org discusses the challenges and rewards of parenting teenagers, using the metaphor of a yo-yo contest to describe the dynamic relationship between parents and their adolescent children.
