Why are family functions destined to be full of mishaps and usually a few arguements?
I don't have the answer to that question, but looking back, as frustrating as it is at times, it's like watching a comedy. It's funny if it's not happening to you.
Do families like The Brady Bunch exist? And while I actually have never even seen the Brady Bunch, I would say, nope. Miscommunication is the cause of something like 90% of all arguements. People have higher expectations, or ideas of what they want to see happen or how they expect people should act. What would happen if we had no expectations? This blog is really not going anywhere...but I mostly just wanted to say that apple picking and visiting the grandparents with your family is a lot more complicated than it sounds!
Hmm... I have a blogspot blog too. I've had it for a while, but I forget what my password is. I also have a Xanga and a MySpace one. Anyway, I should write you sometime and catch you up. I will do that after mid-terms and send you all the links. Anyway, just wanted to say, "hello" in your new blog home. :)

Yeah, it would seem that, no matter how much a person looks forward to being with family, something ALWAYS goes awry. And that's hard to swallow.
ReplyDeleteBut I guess that the important thing is that we TRIED to do something together. And in the end, do I really remember the bad moments? Nope. The good moments are what stick with you. The bad ones fade away to the point where I either forget, or they seem incredibly stupid or funny.
Happy Thanksgiving!
