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.

My Nanna
Is a lovely woman, mother to 8 kids, grandmother to 18 and great gran to about 10 (so far). Everyone loves her, she's a regular at the baptist church and at 82 still does charity work for, as she puts it, "the old folk".
But I harbour a secret grudge. She has a big hallway and stairway lined with big pictures of each granchild on their graduation day. Thing is I am the ONLY person in the whole family that didn't do the Phd/BSc/BA/HND/apprenticeship thing. And my mug is the only one of 18 gran-kids not on the wall.
My Dad winds me up about it and says that I shouldn't feel excluded from the 'Hall of Fame' and that in fact she does have a piccy of me in the broom cupboard, or the 'Hall of shame' as he puts it.
I do hope it's just an oversight and she doesn't secretly hate me.

maybe she just doesn't have a suitable
photo of you?
Get one taken and framed for her christmas present and gauge her reaction by where/if she hangs it.
