The confession they will make: “I once was at a family reunion as a kid and we rented a dorm floor. In the common room of the dorm there was a microwave that had a little sticky note that said ‘don’t Don’t microwave popcorn on the popcorn setting”. Everything you guessed that happened next is correct. Less than two minutes later, a small fire started. Who would have known!? I’m sorry, A FIRE? No smoke, just a pop and suddenly my bag of popcorn was on fire. Speak without warning. I did what anyone would have done in my situation: I pretended it wasn’t my problem and left the room to play on my cousin’s DS By the time my family found the source of the smoke half the kitchen had melted and they ended up paying thousands of dollars in repairs. I blamed my cousin. He was so distraught after being lectured that he didn’t even notice I had him. brought home that year. He is 30 years old and we still persecute him for it but he denies it. However, last Christmas, aged 31, he broke down crying and admitted it was him and our whole family started cooing, patting his head and serving him extra dessert. Talk about an attention seeker and a liar!
Storyline plot twist: They are a bustling conglomeration of trash that people have left in national parks. They lied about the family reunion! They’ve never had a family before, and they haven’t wanted one either…but you…you make them rethink that.
