Families Can Be Funny - Some of The Time!


Families can be really, really funny. Oftentimes they can be a pain in the butt, but I love my family dearly and I think they love me also in their strange ways.

Some families, which includes our next door neighbor, love to fight and yell all the time! This can go on seemingly for days, then comes silence and I think someone has been murdered! Our next door neighbor lives about 200 yards from our house and even over that distance the decibels can be as loud as a 747 flying 50 feet overhead.

When father next door is yelling at mother and mother at father, all their little secrets are broadcast for all to hear within our neighborhood. Mother sometimes starts up early in the morning to get the kids off to school, to make sure they've had their breakfast, their hair is combed and they are presentable.

Father comes down and repeats what mother has vociferated, and the kids moan back in unison “Oh, Dad, please leave us alone, we're on time for school.”

Father: “Please keep a civil tongue in your head! Don't talk to your father like that!”

“Sorry Dad.”

A squirrel runs past their window and Fido lets rip with his bark in his anxiousness to make chase. This adds to moms shrieks for the dog to “Shut up, or else I will get the broom to you!”
Fido ignores her as he always does so he is let out the house to do his early morning duty.

The neighbors' house is then silent for a few days, know why? It's the weekend and the entire family is cocooned in the soundproof entertainment room and they are all watching TV and knocking back sodas and chips.

Yeah, this family with all their rants and raves, love each other dearly and sometimes, not often, can be really funny even when they are yelling at one another.
