Family

After a long week I've been contemplating the concept of family today. Families are supposed to be the people who know us the best and support us the most. But for many, many people family is really the people who understand us the least and act as obstacles to our happiness.

But while I am writing this I am watching Saturday Night Live. They are doing a skit about the strangeness of family rituals. Skits like these would not be as funny if families were not so dysfunctional. At least we get something out of all the craziness.
