families wont work like that

families want to stand in front of you, or phone you, and tell you the problems to your face, really really slowly, while constantly saying ‘um’ and ‘er’ and occasionally using inappropriate tech words because they saw them on tv on CSI last night.

careful when trying to get family do do stuff like this… you’ll end up in a situation where you ask your partner if you can go have some happy-go-bed-sexy-time and they’ll ask you if you put in a ticket for it yet.
