If they weren't related, they wouldn't be friends, she says. That's the ultimate story of my life. I was having a similar conversation with my mum this week about OUR family. We agreed that certain family members aren't shit, and we don't fucks with them. During family get togethers, I'll be civilized. I'll fake a smile. But once the day is over, I go back to living my life and forget about them. I think everyone has someone in their family they feel that way about. But it's easier for normal folk, because we don't have to deal with our dysfunctional families showing their asses out in the media.
