Because They are Family by Janie Emaus
Who among us has not been tortured by an uncle who loves to tell jokes? The same ones, mind you. Year after year and year. Sitting next to him for the entire meal, does not make for good digestion.
Or the aunt who is stuck in time, bringing gifts for teenagers that are better suited for ten-year-olds. And how about the grandmother who complains that the coffee isn’t hot enough and the pie doesn’t taste the way she used to bake it? Mix in the cousin who knows everything about everything from how to kill bed bugs to the best way to please a woman. The sister-in-law who pontificates about the benefits of organic food until you want to jam a yam into her mouth in order to silence her. The brother who finishes off a bottle of whiskey and passes out with his head on his plate.We shake our heads. Pour another glass of wine. And smile.
