Family

Yesterday was Family Day. It was also my grandmother's "birthday". You see, Grandma was born February 13th but always told people that her birthday was the 20th because, according to her, you celebrated your birthday on the day you were christened. Would have seemed plausable if it wasn't for the fact that no one else in her family, nor did any other families we know, celebrate that way. But that was Grandma. She made her own rules and her own sayings. My favourite was "I love my all my children equally I just don't love them the same".

Well as many who know me can attest, the apple didn't fall far from the tree. I like to start my own traditions and my previous coworkers started a list of Shelley-isms. I always felt that all families had them and that our family wasn't all that unique, you know, aside from just deciding what day your birthday is, so this is your chance to prove me right.
