If you were to ask me, there aren’t things that are much worse than family get-togethers. I’m sure that there are some families out there that have some wonderful experiences with those kinds of things, however for me personally they are really the worst… For instance, last year when my sister was chosen to host the family reunion it ended up going south from the start. It was a terribly hot summer time day, and the old and run down household that every one of us had rented out for the weekend wasn’t up to the challenge of keeping us cool. Maybe it wasn’t the household per se, it was easily due to the tiny window mounted A/C device in the household. This old thing looked sort of like it was built in the 90’s, and considering the weak air flow coming from it that is a truly good guess. From the very moment that my sister had been chosen to host I had told her that every one of us were going to need a larger location that was more reliable. Thanks to my sister’s cheap mindset she didn’t listen to me at all. It didn’t take long for the window mounted A/C device to quit working from being pushed to its limit. This led to some fighting within the family, and eventually after another hour or so the reunion was respectfully cancelled early. I can’t say that I am angry that I was able to get out of this reunion earlier than I anticipated, but it sure was aggravating leading up to this point.
