My Family

I love when I get inspiration from other people's blogs... and that's how it usually happens...

My father's birthday was just over a week ago. He turned the big 5-0. And officially my father is an old man. But besides that, my family has come to realize that if you get more than 2 of us together (and sometimes when there are only 2) every conversation resorts back to bodily functions. Mainly those of your bum.

My uncle flew in from VA for my father's birthday. My aunt and uncle came over to my grandma's house. My 2nd cousin (my pop's cousin) dropped in. Then us 4 kids. Let me tell you, we ended up talking about my aunt's lack of being able to shit and her husband (and children's) problem of not being able to hold it in. *mind you this is a common topic because it is probably the most hilarious of them all.

I have a large family. My father comes from a family of 6 children, each with a spouse and at least 2 children. My aunt Amy (and my twin so i'm told) just got married for the 2nd time. At her engagement party, topic of conversation?? You've got it, farting and shitting. At this point in my life I was in a pretty serious relationship and didn't like to express that I even was capable of these horrid things, so to talk about them with my family and HIM standing right there, was mortifying to me.

If you ever need a night of side-splitting laughter about funny noises, shapes, or textures that come out of your ass... Come to a family function with the Dwyers, we're good for something!!
