Family

Family love is messy, clingy, and of an annoying repetitive pattern, like bad wallpaper. But aside from the mess, you love them not because you have to, but because you want to.


when i think family, the first thing that comes to mind is "craziness". Family to me is being loved unconditionally despite your flaws. It means that no matter what happens, or who wants to kill you in school, your family has your back. You're family are those few people who you were created to be with, and each one of them are totally completely different from eachother. But thats what makes the ride worth while, they always keep you guessing.

There are so many kinds of families out there,You have the Type A family, whose house is always immaculate, The mother who makes you take off your shoes before you enter the house and who then proceeds to vacuum where you just walked.The father is usually some big time engineer, lawyer etc. and the kids are most likely the most well-mannered people you will ever meet." Alright kid, see you in 10 years at Harvard." But now lets skip and few steps and get to the sketchy family. Whenever you go over their house you wonder who they have locked up in the basement, because something clearly has to be wrong with these people. And then somewhere in between the two, we got the Average Joe family that all of you have, You got the parents and the kids, but everything else that goes on inside the walls of your house is a mystery to me.

But right now i'm going to focus on something that you guys are going to think is weird, entertaining, and will probably either make you want to come over my house or never talk to me again. The Damico Family. We are probably one of the weirdest, most outrageous, spontaneous families you will ever meet. To get you started, my parents are split up, but they both live in North. They drive each other crazy most of the time. Then you have my sister. I'd like to say that she is some close relative to satin, but that would be an understatement. In the 11 years that i have spent my life with her,she has:

1. bit me,
   
2. unscrewed my door knob,
   
3. killed my hamster,
   
4. cut all of my bathroom towels in half,
   
5. Triple knotted the shoe-laces on my converses,
   
6. tied up my friends in her room,
   
7. hit me with a hammer,
8. and finally,painted my mirror black so i couldn't see into it.

As you can probably see the time spent at home with her, is just awesome. But hey, we all have the siblings right? wrong. Not only is Amanda ( that's her name if you didn't know) A ridiculous clone of my mother, she is also an evil mastermind. The whole reason i am even writing this blog right now is based on the fact that i am stuck in my room, because of who? her. Ever felt like your sister or brother was the favorite? and then your mom says " Well honey, that's just your opinion,me and daddy love both of you equally." Sound familiar? its a lie. Sorry to burst your bubble. But usually if you think you're the favorite, you are. and if you think that you're parents favor your sibling more than you, you're right! Well at least for me :x. My parents have never really admitted to the fact that Amanda is their favorite, but i see it. Mostly because i'm in my room right now, and you wanna know why? Because she just threw me down a set of stairs by my sister and then i yelled at her." Where's Amanda you ask? DOWNSTAIRS WATCHING TV. point proven.

But besides all of this my family is pretty great, i'm glad i'm where i am at because even though im not the favorite (; they love me no matter how i change and what mess i get into. And thats what family is, they love you unconditionally, they throw you a hardball once in a while, but just because they care. Family comes first in any situation an i know almost anyone would do just about anything to protect their family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten, And even though most of the time we're fighting and hating on each other, we laugh about it afterward. because we're family. and nothing can tear family apart.
