 George Bernard Shaw

All families have their ugly members…Rupert and Rufus are part of Jamie’s extended family and Rufus is actually a distant cousin….Rupert however is that irritating, aggravating, always there for the parties, the holiday—ready to eat drink…they never bring anything or if they do it’s like a fruit cake left over from last year or the pumpkin pie that outdated the day they bought it and looks slightly green.  They argue, fuss, and the gossip—they never knew a rumor they wouldn’t share…they expect a present, but usually yours is a mate of that fruit cake….or a re-gift of what their mother-in-law (who’s uglier than they are–physically and mentally) gave them 2 or 3 years ago and is covered in dust and if you’re lucky it’s not toxic, on a recall list somewhere or the batteries aren’t leaking acid.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
Families can be embarrassing—how many times when you were a kid did your folks pick you up exactly on time….came in to house and nobody else had left yet—everybody else’s parents knew that it wasn’t required to be there to pick you up at exactly the time on the invitation…Made your whole evening ugly.
And they show up in uncool cars, or wear uncool clothes or what ever it takes to make the embarrassing moment—or more likely MOMENTS that leave you blue with embarrassment and then some.

I’m sure when I mention embarrassment you all could give me a dozen stories and a thousand times that you chringed  about something ugly embarrassing that your parents, kids, spouse or others did.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooo

and then there’s the nutty ones—oh I don’t mean they kill people—but they do strange and unusual, things when and where they’re most likely to embarrass you, or result in you having to take them or one of their many pets to the doctor or vets.  They make presents out of the things their cats gift them or they knit sweaters with three arms and don’t seem to notice that you don’t have matching appendages which makes that last year’s fruit cake seem much more appealing.  It’s not their fault but it fits in ugly especially when you have to clean out their house cause they need to go into a home and you finally find out what?????!!!!! is under all those hoarded news papers…maybe their last four cats or that Uncle Ernie didn’t run off.

oooooooooooooooooooooo

Welcome to our big old happy disfunctional family. You are now in, and whether you like it or not, you can never get out. Hayley Williams

The ones that embarrass you.  They’re uncouth, rude, crude and dress to match.  They always manage to show up when you’ve got friends that just won’t understand or they try to get a loan at your bank or a job where you work and of course use your name freely.  When they’ve drank too much and the cop pulls them and feels sorry for them.  It’s you they call in the middle of the night to make the pick up so the cops won’t arrest them and delivery and arranges for you to take them back in the morning since you’re sober you’ll remember where they left the car.   And you can call them for help but they’re so late arriving (if their car won’t start at all—it seems to work best when they’ve been drinking come to think of it) and make such a scene that you’d be better walking home.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 Queen Mary

Sorry this one doesn’t need a comment—or rather I’m not going to…not sure which…..

ooooooooooo

 Katherine Heigl

and then there’s those family members who are always marrying, divorcing, being involved in all manner of scandals, legal battles, children running away (who can blame them?) or getting into one ditch or some sort of trouble which in this family is normal—one worries if one of the kids aren’t doing something despicable….these are the ones the family members speak about on the side or under their breath and you can always expect an update on Monday–preferably mornings as much of the detail is forgotten if you wait too longer–however there are some items that are added that actually contributes to the whole story and if someone in the family didn’t go out with the entire football team they will eventually so…..might as well be prepared for it.

ooooooooooooooooooooooo

And we haven’t even dealt with those cheating hearts and all the amazing involvement from alibi to you did me wrong that entails.
