Remember those family gatherings? I haven’t been to one in a while since we moved away.
\nMy one favorite part would be the food at the gatherings. My mom would cook so many dishes, you were always walking out of the party having to undo the top button of your jeans from eating so much.<\/p>\n

The least favorite part is having to play the “Let’s catch up” game some of the older\u00a0relatives\u00a0which always includes all the same questions over and over again.<\/p>\n

Playing catch up with the family can be like those game shows. The questions are always the same and if you don’t have an answer then there is the question of, “WHY?” Then you are left trying to hand them off to a sibling or another relative to focus on.<\/p>\n

Clearly all the questions are unavoidable. Too bad there isn’t a form that can be handed out before any gatherings with the disclaimer that if you answer the form, anything on the form cannot be talked about during the gathering.<\/p>\n

Then what would be left to talk about?\u00a0Current happenings of the world? The party starts here kids…ahhah<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
