Two Families, Two Reactions

[primsong]

Situation: Son-in-Law gets back from Boot Camp.

His family: Long, nobly worded paragraphs posted about how proud they are of him, how he has grown to be A Man, etc (insert Hallmark card sentiments here). Photos of flags against the sun, military men lined up in crisp lines.

Our family: *weird hooting noises and kermit-flailing* *memes* *chasing each other around the room wielding spatulas in excitement* *impromptu group dance*

I bet he prefers your crowd. :-D I certainly would.

Hee hee... considering his reaction to coming out of the bathroom only to find four people imitating a multi-level shuffling totem pole coming down the hall at him while humming random harmonies and waving stuffed animals in their hands was only to grin and say "I signed up for this!" - I think it's in good hands.
