Family Matters

When you're 8 and your whole family comes to your house for a holiday...

Dad said "Go ahead and grow a goatee."

Mom said "Don't you go and embarrass me!"

Grandma Jones said "Dear, make me a pot of tea."

Grandpa said "Come watch a game with me!"

Uncle said "Kid go find my keys."

Auntie said "Get this dog with its fleas!"

Homeless Jake said having folks was the bees knees.

I guess he must have never met my family!

This is quite light-hearted and funny. I really enjoyed it. I love that the kid's perspective comes through
