I've got one of those too. <br /><br />We don't have Thanksgiving here (Scotland) but if you substitute it for Christmas Dinner then I could swear we had the same family. I've got the added bonus of the one who has known my husband for over 20 years and still insists on calling him by the name of my old boyfriend from my teen years. Yeah, she's also the one that thinks she's a riot. *slap*. <br /><br />When called on it her stock answer is always "OMG why do I keep doing that?!!" <br /><br />Yeah, seriously. Why DO you keep doing that?Silver Thistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145602071453032203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050119356391611742.post-12257629091109691742011-11-27T21:58:09.480-05:002011-11-27T21:58:09.480-05:00Haha!

I love the one where the person brings a different date and has to call before to make sure they don't use the wrong name.Alison Can Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908868606441539344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050119356391611742.post-62823672317359176062011-11-27T16:33:38.602-05:002011-11-27T16:33:38.602-05:00Ha! you're right.

I'm having a bit of a life slump at the moment and reading about all the crazy characters in your life really picked me up :)I don't have much in the way of family over in Australia so I only ever see:<br />-The ones whose marriage is in the pits and everyone knows it but they still pretend everything is okay;<br />-The ones who your parents wish you were;<br />-The ones whose voices grate on your nerves so much you wish you were deaf;<br />And thankfully:<br />-The ones you're actually glad to see...can't forget those!!!Lanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002224549199474383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050119356391611742.post-13647679923582144772011-11-25T14:28:45.990-05:002011-11-25T14:28:45.990-05:00HA!

So many good descriptions:)...Cracking up right now. So many good descriptions:) Let's see... I don't think you forgot too many. In my family there's "the one trying to get a rise out a particular member of the family by talking about reincarnation, extreme political views, and how her grandchildren walk on water." Lol. I love the extreme exaggerator description. <br />This year, we also had "the one who got married and divorced in less than a month and brought a new boyfriend to dinner" and the "16 year old vegan who doesn't know how to cover up her chest." See? All families are crazy:) Oh my gosh, and my greatgrandpa once said when I was coming down the stairs, "How many children do you have, Dave?" to my dad. Talk about embarrassing.<br /><br />You have to stop by my Follow Friday post because you're in it:)<br /><a href="http://fansoffiction.blogspot.com/2011/11/feature-and-follow-friday-10.html" rel="nofollow">My Follow Friday</a><br />-Jenna @ Fans of FictionJenna and Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952637818862079014noreply@blogger.com
