Post a random truth about your family besides parents.

My mother's mother loved fish but was allergic to it but after all those years of being allergic and not being able to eat it she discovered she wasn't allergic any more so now she can eat it!

My great grandfather got a limp because he broke his leg when he was about 12.

My mother's mother almost died of pneumonia when she was 9.

My uncle used to be an Olympic swimmer.

My uncle has sold things that belonged also to my mother (they inherited them from their parents) and my mother is going to sue him.

My father's uncle designs book covers.

Once in the summer my grandmother showed me how to take seeds out of the centers of dead flowers in her garden and put them in a pill bottle to save for the next year to plant flowers.

My great grandmother is still alive (at 98.) and has Alzheimer's.

The only time I saw Grandpa expressing love for Nana was when he cried at her funeral.

The cats are all lazy and sister is to.

My mother often talked about how materialistic they were. Lately, Uncle Moshe had been spending a lot, perhaps because he doesn't believe he will live that long what with his diabetes and how he loves to eat junk food anyway (and then he goes and injects, then eats some more and injects some more). Dolores and Moshe's doctor says that it's like a double tragedy, as both have so much wrong with them. Dolores kvetches a lot about her health, which my mother also does about her health. Dolores also says that Hershel kvetches to his friends about his health. He bought an expensive widescreen TV, an expensive media centre (basically a shelving unit), expensive paintings, expensive plant pots, and two new leather couches (I don't know if they're real leather). They got the apartment repainted again. They own a laptop and three desktop computers. They have a van but they still have bus passes. They paid over $1000 to a photographer to take professional family photos once, as well as photos of at least one of their daughters' bat mitzvahs. They have professionally-made videos showing pictures of their daughters' lives and their bat mitzvahs taped on the same video. Even though Joey didn't want a bar mitzvah and said he wasn't religious, they still considered it, complete with a $25 bouquet of flowers for each table. All five of them have cellphones, and they have a landline. They take trips to New York to visit family and Isa splurges on shoes there. Dolores also caves to her demands for expensive t-shirts with her favorite bands depicted or mentioned on them, expensive CDs, concert tickets, etc.

The family is weak and undeserving of the word "my" before it.

My great uncle on my mother's side is a vegetable with Alzheimer's.

My second oldest cousin, Christopher has been to Hawaii, two times.

My grandpa's younger sister, great aunt Aniela suffers from schizophrenia and lives in an asylum for many years. I never met her.

It seems I have just accidentally found a very distant cousin of mine via another forum.

And as for great aunt Aniela from the post above she died several months ago.
