My parents travel 9 months out of the year and just returned home on Monday, while they were gone my youngest brother had offered to keep an eye on the property. On their property they have a fully stocked lake and dock which I have swam in and fished when visiting. I just got off the phone with my dad and apparently he had asked my brother if he'd been swimming any yet this year and he got quiet and said no and he wasn't going near the water because he had been feeding the fish meat. Now I've seen those movies too but I never would have thought my 40 year old brother would actually believe he could turn some catfish and bass into Piranhas during a few months of house sitting or for any length for that matter. I haven't spent much time around him in years but from what my father is telling me he has developed into one of those people that all the labels on the canned goods and boxes in the pantry have to be facing out and turned just so or he snaps and now that I'm thinking about it he did stock pile water, food and batteries when they were predicting doom prior to the Y2K scare. I guess my next visit I'll have no choice but to pour BBQ sauce on him and push him off the dock.
I remember I had one aunt that was afraid of ghosts so my uncle always had to buy her a new home, or she was more clever than I thought, either way they never lived in a home that they didn't have built.
Does anyone else have family members that are a bit on the quirky side?
Oh about the BBQ sauce idea, my father said....be prepared for your brother to walk on water.

My sister.
My brothers wife calls in the middle of the night wanting to know if her sons red shirt is at my house she cant find it. Has a tooth ache and cries because she thinks she has tooth cancer. I had one of those souvenir shark fetus' in a jar, she looks at it and asked me what I was going to do with it when it gets bigger? WTF.
Well my son just buzzed me on the intercom saying our out of town company is starting to arrive. I should be back in a week or so. Hope everyone has a great day!
Ok, my grandpa, rest his soul, HAD to exit thru the same door he entered even if it was a window. He also got up early on new years day and visited all his family and friends because he thought it was good luck for your first visitor to be male.
Do you sniff the catsup bottles in restaruants too. LOL. This nephews brother sniffs his hands all the time, but I think thats more of a tick than a quirk.

Well, I know what to expect from catsup. I only sniff new things when I'm not sure what the ingredients are. If raw onions are present and visible, I just push the plate as far away from my nose as possible.
It usually doesn't happen in restaurants because I would ask beforehand whether there's garlic in the dish. I can put up with miniscule quantities of it cooked, but I tell the waiters I'm allergic to it and since they're so afraid of lawsuits they make sure I don't get any.

I hate garlic and need to make sure the food doesn't stink.
