:: My Dysfunctional Family ::

My youngest brother had a party here last night for his birthday. Even before midnight, he ended up passed out on the floor of our front porch. It was not a pretty sight.

More on this, I lent his friends my camera so they could take pictures. Oh brother... now I know for sure that he will not let me add him to my friendster list.

My sister and brother-in-law provided the alcohol... a few bottles of Cuervo, some Absolut, some beer of course, and a bottle of Tequila Rose. I wanted to steal the Tequila Rose before the party even started, but apparently, it was requested specifically by my brother. Oh well...

Before the first guests even arrived, my siblings and I started eating. No, the guests do not get priority at the buffet table... the celebrant's family eats first.

While the party was going on (i.e. while my brother was getting plastered), my dad, my sister, and I were all in the study playing Tong-its, a card game that I hear is similar to Gin Rummy. I think my dad lost a couple of hundred, I won around twenty bucks, and most of the spoils went to my sister. Gambling with your dad... talk about family values.

Does this seem like a normal family to you?

Didn't think so.
