You know a family reunion is good/sucky when...
It's summer summer time! That means a lot of family reunions.
They can be the best or worst thing ever.
Discuss.

It's good when you push your grandma into the pool, picnic tables, cooler, etc.
C'MON DIONYSUS, DO IT FOR US!

Bad: When the family nutjob shows up and threatens everyone for finding three of his illegitamate children from years past, inviting those children into the family, and him telling those kids to their faces they arent his and wants nothing to do with them (which in turn has caused the family to want nothing to do with the family nutjob but that's a separate long story).......
Good: There's never seemingly a dull moment at my family reunions..........

A family reunion sucks because it exists. I've never seen the point of going out of my way to reunite with people I don't like enough to see regularly.
LOL, bad attitude much?

Friggin' Family Reunions!

On a positive note...
It is a GREAT family reunion when....
There are deviled eggs on an appropriate plate. Deviled eggs are the only food that is appropriate for weddings, funerals, AND family reunions!
My momma makes green beans with fatback, "sweet tea," country fried ham, "co-cola" ham, taters au gratin, and angel biscuits...
When I get to see all of the older family members and listen to their stories. Each year more of the older generation seems to go on before us.
We get to play the annual family football game in the cow pasture, and only the "married-in" guy from up North gets hurt when he slides in a cow pile. Good grief. You are in a COW PASTURE! It is like life and taxes; if you don't watch where you step, you are going to be covered in it!
 I love family reunions...usually attend 3 or 4 a year!

I really love my family reunions until someone asks, "So why aren't you married yet?"
Actually, it is great to see my cousins and their children. We have about 100 people at our reunions on a farm in upstate New York. My mother's cousin makes t-shirts and talks about his election campaign. We eat lots of food. We play softball, volleyball, and swim in the pond. We have a parade for the little children where we initiate them into the Pig's Head Society. They serve pork and keep the head to display just for the reunion.

I love my family reunions! I live here in SC, and I always miss hanging out with my family which is primarily in NY/NJ/MD/PA. The next one is Manhattan, I am ready NOW...and I have until next summer.

Dood, I wanna come to your family reunion! Theres only like 6 people in my close family and all my dads family live in Missouri and all live in the same town, so they've never had a reunion - everyday is a reunion. (were the black sheep who left for Texas)
I've never been to a reunion. My family isnt cool like that. I guess I could always marry into a big family....
