I was about six I think. Anyhow my dad was getting the grill ready to cook some BBQ outside. I was quietly playing with a plastic truck on the back porch. When my father stepped inside to get something I put the truck in the grill. I knew better of course and my dad asked "Why'd you do that!" The best answer that I could come up with was "my brain told me to do it." I didn't get in trouble that day... other than eating slightly plastic tasting burgers. Growing up if I ever did anything stupid or polish I'd get quoted by a family member "my brain told me to do it" I'M 30 AND MY FAMILY STILL DOES THIS!! I had to relate to them how it all started because they forgot where it even came from. It's just something that carried on. I have four siblings and all we do when we get together is try to make fun of the other best. It's pretty fun actually. My brain told me to post this.
In the late 80s we almost won a contest "Best military family" We would have went to the white house and dined with George Bush the first. We were only the third best though and had to settle for a plaque signed by Barbara Bush. It's a shame our family has to deal with on a daily basis rocks.
That's right. Anytime you feel bad because you have no family or an incredibly dysfunctional one just remember the alternative is a plaque signed by Barbara Bush. I envy you people.
3rd place: a plaque signed by Barbara Bush 4th place: two plaques signed by Barbara Bush 5th place: a plaque signed by George H.W. Bush
If it weren't for Aura and my own kids, I'd have no idea what being a part of a family means, and I have 4 brothers and 4 sisters. The only ones who is cool is my mom and two of my sisters from her remarriage, and I guess my full-sister is ok, when she's not drunk. My dad is the kind of person who should never have had children, and he had 6, of which only the youngest of whom receives any attention, and I gaurentee when that girl gets to be 14, she will join the rest of us. My younger brothers are not quite there yet but slowly the realization that the man is an alcholic, self-centered, lazy, ignorant and arrogant piece of shit is sinking in. He is funny and super sociable, so he maintains and spell over most people who know him. I guess I was lucky enough to be the only one of his children who he actively despises, and snapped out of that illusion when I was 15. Don't even get me started on my stepdad, the cruel, sadistic, racist apelike fuck of a shit. He is the only human being that I could kill and never feel sorry for it.
My family is pretty cool, except for my sister who hates me for no discernible reason. She never quite got over being demoted from "only child" to "sibling".
My family is great, dysfunctional as hell for sure but very supportive..but I guess we're not good enough for Barbara Bush.
