Family

As we see family I have been thinking about things I am grateful for about my family. John's family stays up late at night and talks about things- including what is normal in this family. So I thought I would write my own what a family is list.

• A family loves you
• A family fights sometimes
• Family eats dinner together
• Family goes on vacation together
• Family drives across the country together
• Family invites you over for dinner
• Family calls you on your birthday
• Family gets you presents
  
• Families gossip
• Families stay up late talking about ideas and childhood and everything else that exists.
• Families compete for attention
• Family will buy stuff from your internet shop :-) and maybe even some tupperware
• Or Mary Kay makeup if they are really nice.
• Family will let you come stay with them for a while and borrow a car if they have an extra one
• Family will ignore you
• Family buys you groceries
• Family brings cereal on trips
• Family sends cards on birthdays
• Families read together
• Families have songs they can sing together- or poems or inside jokes that always bring up good thoughts.
• Family reads your blog and even comments when you are lucky.
• Families share opinions about which brands are best.
• Families understand why the bathroom has to be cleaned a certain way.
• Families hug each other
  
• Families will call you even if they are mad at you, just because it has been too long.
• Families go out to eat together.
• Families love the same desserts
• Family knows the food you are allergic to and remember not to make it for your birthday dinner.
• Families will tell you honestly how you could be better.
• Family remembers your most embarrassing moment in high school.
• Families look alike.

I like my family.
