Family Members

Everybody has a select groups of family members they can't stand. They either drink too much, smoke too much, or even talk too much. Regardless of what you don't like about these family members, you pretty much can say that they get on your last nerve. Some of us can count on one hand how many family members get on our nerves. What is it about them that makes your skin crawl? Chances are there is a list of things you can say about this person or these people. How many people out there have a family member who think they know it all? Every time you get around this person it's like they are God's gift to all knowledge or something. Any topic that comes up this person has a detailed answer as to why the situation is like it is or why things are they way turned out. I just have one question for them. Who died and appointed the final voice on the matter? I missed the memo about you being the "all knowing source of information" somebody please forward me this message. I know everyone has that family member that drinks too much and becomes the "life of the party". This person in the family is kept around for entertainment purposes. I bet this particular family member is an uncle or cousin who is known as the "drunk" in the family, but this person manages to keep the party live and in full effect. No matter who it is they always seem to keep a smile on every one's faces even if the weather is gloomy outside. I bet this same family member gets the party going by dancing around in circles with a red cup in their hand talkin' about "you don't know nothing about this here". By the time this person starts to settle down, everyone is shaking their heads like here he goes again. Or how about the uncle who gambles too much? He comes to the events looking for every way possible to win some money from someone in the family. The smaller children may be out back playing basketball, and here he comes talkin' bout I bet you can't make this many shots in a row. C'mon now Unc we just out here trying to have some fun. Don't let Unc get to the card table. It's gonna be all hell if he sits down because he plans to leave the table with his pride and more money than he came with originally. His favorite drink is a long neck Budweiser followed by a shot of Jack Daniels whiskey. When Unc comes into town, there are more problems than solutions. What trips me out about Unc is that he is a better card player under the influence and rarely loses a hand. What about that family member who always wanna borrow something from you? Always talkin' bout "aye aye nephew let me hold something and I'll get it back to u Monday"...ummm how about "no thank you"! Why is that this uncle always in need of some money like he don't work or have some type of income even if it's just social security. No matter who the person is in your family, they are always gonna find some way to get on your nerves. Honestly, these individuals give us stories to tell to co-workers, other family members who didn't see it happening or couldn't make the event, and even conversations with our significant others. Family is precious so cherish every moment that you get to spend with them because you never know when you will see them.
