My family has a culture that can be summed up by reference, more easily than by description.  In no particular order...

  • Family Council
  • No spears at the table
  • The Princess Bride
  • Secondhand Lions
  • Phineas & Ferb
  • Kim chi
  • We have pet names for all our cars

The other day, I was in the kitchen getting dinner ready. 

  • The door to the garage opened, and in came one of my sons carrying a sword.  He closed the door and proceeded out of the kitchen into the family room.
  • 5 seconds later the door opened again.  Another son came in carrying a sword.  He closed the door and proceeded out of the kitchen into the family room.
  • 10 seconds later, my youngest son came in from the garage carrying a sword.  He then proceeded as his brothers did.
  • I went to the dining room where my wife was working on some household planning.  I conveyed what I just saw.  Her response: "And?"
  • I turned around and walked away in silence.

What's your family culture like?

Did you know the next season of P&F is dropping even as we speak?

So, how would you describe your family culture (by reference)?

BTW, I realized that we have to add another item to the list:

The Fat Electrician...  You don't touch America's boats!!!

It's true.  I checked from the American Revolution all the way to the Iran/Iraq war.  There was some debate about whether the Civil War counted.
