#weird relatives

[vintage-devil]

I have a distant relative who popped so much bubble wrap in her retirement that she got carpal tunnel. The point of this is I have a sheet of bubble wrap and probably won't do anything until I've popped the whole thing

Honestly, I’m so glad we are doing Christmas just with the immediate family. We went to my aunt and uncle’s for thanksgiving, and one of their friends was pestering me unceasingly to donate my hair. I told her I had donated blood/platelets about six times (platelets only once though, as the process made me violently ill for days). And she kept saying “well then now you can move on to donating your hair.” And I was just like “NO!” And at least at Christmas no one will be implying I’m selfish for wanting to keep all my hair on my head.

Marvel-verse, Tony Stark-centric

Tony is the forth cousin of Gomez Addams - twice removed, old boy - through his lovely, talented, terrifying mother. A lady of breeding and, oddly enough, fencing, archery, muskets, and gymnastics. He is also the few times great-grandson of the all but forgotten Heterodynes of Europa through his less than sensibly Mad father. This impacts him a (lot) little.

Living (castle) tower? Check. (JARVIS)

A bit of a thing for unusual persons? Check. Dr. Bruce Banner and young Peter Parker are just the most casual ones (Deadpool somehow worms his way into the good graces of Tony - usually by caring for Peter and unaliving the few mutts that would go after him or his aunt).

Causing mayhem? Double check. Ironman, his ‘bots, fight against aliens with aliens...

Finding the one that makes his soul burn? Maybe. Well, he’s been working on it.

Making minions? Kinda, sorta. (Does Happy and the Bots, count?)

Finding lost family members? Yup. (Darcy was a surprise. Morticia barely does talk about her sisters and their more normal husbands. Even if Jenny married an ax murder - and died an Addams style death - and Delilah ran off with a mutant who needed blood to survive, their names were barely remembered. Not like an Addams would be.)

Having a personal vendetta leveled against him? Well Steven Rogers seems to be filling that roll terribly well since everyone else failed to keep the challenge.

“Oh yeah! He went mad!”

- My grandfather on the topic of one of 24 of my relatives buried in the same cemetery.

Things My Nana Says #1:

Me: *making a peanut butter sandwich*

Nana: are you having peanut butter?

Me: yes

Nana: oh, how gross!

*goes on to tell me about growing up never like peanut butter*

My grandpa is weird??

I’m in my new room, which the extension on the house is exciting for my grandparents I get that.

I have a bathroom attached to my room.

My grandpa walks into my room, which I’m still in my pjs mind you, and he walks into my bathroom, takes my hand towel, gets the corner wet, scrubs the floor or something I couldn’t see exactly but I heard it, and walks out.

And I’m sitting in bed, blind because my glasses are on the other side of my room.

And just ??? what just happened??

You come into MY room and MY bathroom to do a lil science experiment???

I don’t care if we’re related but no??

I’m in pjs?? I don’t have my glasses?? I felt vulnerable??

Like my door was cracked open but he didn’t even knock on the door?

Why are babyboomers so weird?? 

They want respect but don’t give any??

My grandpa names his meat so he sounds crazy.

"My knife was too small for tom so I used a saw to cut him in half"

"I'm almost done eating tom's neck"
