Crazy, locos, that’s us. My family is a little bit nuts! Okay, a lot nuts! We’re the type of family that you have to make sure you go to the bathroom often so you don’t have an accident while laughing.
My dad has five sisters and they’re all very close. They hang out with each other and throughout the years, they continue to crack each other and us up on a daily basis. I admire that even now they are company for each other, they hang out with each other whenever they have a chance. When my grandmother was alive, they used to do “girls’ day out” as in pick her up and haul her to the movies. Everyone has the same weird sense of humor so it’s not like they had to argue over which movie to watch. It’s comforting to know my aunties have each other as company especially as they all get older.
For all of us, nieces and nephews, they are our greatest fans and our biggest critics. They’re the first to cheer and shout in support of us from athletic events, graduations, to other lifetime events. They are also the first to smack us on the head if we are getting to big for our britches in the ever loving attempt to keep you humble that only your family member are allowed to impart with such honesty. I think there are very few families out there where the 20 and 30 something year old nieces and nephews would prefer to ring in the new year with the 50+ aunties, yep we’re a weird bunch o’ nuts.
La vida es así
