families are odd

We didn't go to too many family reunions. I'm not sure why. The one I do remember was held in Yosemite. We went to that one because it was also my great grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. My great aunt was coming in from Pennsylvaina. We all had cabins to share. Everyone kinda did their own thing then we would meet up for dinner. I don't remember all of it but I do remember there was a guy no one was related to making chicken on the bbq. He would lick his finger then put it on a chicken. He kept doing that until he had touched them all then started over. We all made a mental note to not eat the chicken. Happily mom had planned on something like that and brought two ice chests. One had food and the other was full of beer (to help deal with the family :)) Me and my sister were going to go into our room but there was a kid we didn't know who wouldn't let us in. We told mom and she went to investigate. The unknown child put his arms out across the door looked up at mom and said, "You can't go in there!" "The hell I can't!" She then picked the child up by his shirt and kind of tossed him aside. She entered the room to find another unkown child making mud pies in our bathroom sink. Our cousins (they are about mom's age) came in and took our beer chest. Mom yelled at them and they brought it back in but it was too late. Mom grabbed her hair dryer and marched out onto the cabins porch that over looked the camp site. She raised the dryer up like a sword and announced to the whole camp, "I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!" She went on a rant about how she didn't really like the people in attendance with the exeption of a few and how they "can just save your stamp because I'm NEVER coming to one of these EVER again!" Uncle Tom seconded that. She ended by yelling, "KIDS, GET YOUR SHIT AND GET IN THE CAR! WE ARE LEAVING RIGHT NOW!" My grandpa was sitting in the back with dad. He turned to dad and said almost in a panic, "Don't leave me Rick!" Dad said, "When Tam says it's time to go, it's time to go." And just like that we left.
