BF1 Dinner with your family (1)

From Create Your Own Story

You sit at the table, your ass still sore from it's pounding. Your dad tries to offer you peanut brittle he got guilted into buying. Your brother Dave, 21 works at Burger King and still lives at home, stares at the clock as he shovels food in his mouth. Your sister Linda, 19, is playing a cross word puzzle. A cake lands on the table with a thunk "looks like we have to eat this by ourselves Your uncle Joey didn't make parole" your mom says, the cake has a bird flying out of a jail cell.

"Uncle Jailbird Joey" your brother Dave says "he's your brother mom" Dave looks at the clock "ah shit I'm going to be late for work" Dave gets up to get ready.

"Watch your mouth" your mother chides your older brother "and give your mother a kiss" Dave gives her a kiss and heads to his room.

Your sister speaks in a monotone voice "hey Marty I'm not your answering service some girl, Jennifer called"

Your mom chimes in "I don't like that girls calling boys it's not right" your mom regales you with the tale of when your parents first kissed. Your grandpa hit your dad with his car, he fell out of a tree, he was birdwatching or something. Out of pity your mom went to the under the sea dance with him and she's been with him ever since. Honestly it's pathetic, your dad's a sad sack, your sister is future cat-lady, your brother's a slacker, and your mom has developed alcoholism, obviously unhappy where her life went.

You can either go to straight to your room after dinner or you can make a pitstop.
