I recently had the opportunity to go to a family reunion, but ultimately it ended up not being an option; it wasn't fitting into my all-day sports watching adventure.
I could only imagine what the "party" was like that night. Bored in a corner, I'd be wondering if I knew anyone there. And if anyone knew me.
A television would be on tuned to the most obscure station on Earth. Politics and old stories would fill the air amongst older relatives. Children would not be in sight, tucked away in rooms due to extreme boredom - boardgames scattered through sight.
I assume there would be a few moments of talk among the residents and a select few of the guests, but awkward silence would reign supreme throughout the night for those who hadn't known anyone. But would would one do after that? Is there much to do?
Was distant relative reunions ever a good idea expect for the those who planned it? Is it part of a greater plot from older people to bore the youth of America?
It's too early to tell. And it doesn't matter. The Phoenix Suns just won.

I wish I would have looked at your blog before I completed my second assignment. Your examples are great!
ReplyDeleteAren't family reunions great...? (Hint of sarcasm)
ReplyDeleteIf your a Suns Fan congrates, my wife is so she was happy. Sorry it was boring! Next time make sarcastic remarks and get people laughing at one another. It helps at my family get togethers. Pick one person out and just go with it. If it doesn't work don't go back because they will have you to talk about at the next reunion.
