Family Feuds
Pooster tells us that a relative was once sent to the shops to buy an onion, while the rest of the family went on a daytrip while he was gone. Meanwhile, whole sections of our extended kin still haven't got over a wedding brawl fifteen years ago – tell us about families at war.

It's the great ancestral divide in my family too.
Mum's family always drinks coffee; Dad's family always drinks tea. In the latter case, 'always' means 'almost constantly'. I've never actually witnessed a fight about it, but my dad always lets me make my own coffee when I go to his place. Then again, my mum lets me make my own too, since I drink filter coffee and she drinks decaf instant (on doctor's orders, I might add, since she is petite and has the appetite of a hamster, so she has virtually no buffer zone for all that caffeine).
