I just spent 3 hrs with my relatives...

I'm the oldest cousin out of the group, so I get extremely bored when I have to see my family...my mom makes me go to these functions too.

So, this is what happens: My mom chit chats with her siblings about politics and things that have taken place, I just sit there and have to listen. I try to put in some input every once and a while, even though my aunts don't even acknowledge that I'm there. I don't think they know that one of my major idiosyncracies is when people don't respond when I'm talking to them. My aunt told me to bring some cd's, and she was like, "don't you have anything more up beat???" even though I told her that I don't listen to a lot of mainstream music...oh well. And then, I had to deal with my uncles making jokes about my fuschia hair... :|
After begging my mom a million times to let me go, and having to hear my one aunt talk about my little cousin's bowel problems, I decided that I had enough of my family for a while. My grandma was leaving, and I asked ther to drive me home. Thank God she did, or I would still be at that party, bored out of my mind!!!
There's only so much I can take of my family. I love them extremely, but if I had to see them everyday, I don't think I could handle it!
