Jimmy Fallon’s #MyFamilyIsWeird: The Best Tweets

We all have moments in which we feel a little out of place in our family. That’s why we love Jimmy Fallon’s #MyFamilyIsWeird hashtag challenges, where he asks us to share what it is that makes our families so weird. We’ve seen people share ridiculous photos of their families and inspirational quotes from their parents, and nothing has been more touching than these #FamilyIsWeird Moments from Jimmy!

Sometimes it’s just grandpa

I think the thing about having a cool aunt who is often making jokes is that she must have her moments of being awesome. We can’t forget that there are crazy uncles too.

One of those odd comments that have to get a raised eyebrow over dinner, the premise isn’t impossible and she would have a good cover if the aunt were pregnant at the same time. All I’m saying is sometimes when you think something crazy is impossible, it really could be true…or maybe she has dementia and just said something suspiciously means. Who knows.

Laugh at these funny laundry moments

One bathroom, four people- is this practical? I don’t think it really depends. But, if there are two or three bathrooms and they’re all in the halls shouting, “Where’s the towel?” that seems a little too weird for me. Can no one take a shower on wash day?

It is a “no” from me. I believe that it would take at least a couple of hours for the towels to dry and be ready again after a shower. With the number of showers between towel reuse, people are exposed to low-quality towels.

Wholesome Family Traditions

I am on board with their family tradition. Everyone can enjoy the moment without judgment, and it accommodates my preferences too. I also think it’s great that they go to a yearly concert together.

Still, it’s a bit weird they see Jimmy Buffet every time. I mean, his most famous song is from 1977. How many times can you hear Margaritaville live before questioning all of your life choices? Seven? Eight? There’s a line somewhere, and I personally don’t want to cross it. Now, Willie Nelson? Yeah, that’s a different story.

I Wonder What It Is

Dads have to make dad jokes, and this is a pretty good one. At least he got exactly what he wanted every year from Santa. I also love it when people commit to this type of stuff and make it into a tradition. I mean, here’s this woman talking about the one thing her dad did at Christmas every year, and it’s adorable.

As a mom of four with a very busy husband, I know I wrap at least two of my presents each year (my pajamas and hot chocolate for Christmas Eve). I should start doing this in my house, so at least I get to act all excited when I open them up! I can think of worse Christmas traditions.

Sneaky, Sneaky

Watching the final episode before starting a new TV series is like reading the last page of a novel before starting a book. I’m not so sure this is a great idea. Yes, the theatrics had to be phenomenal in this household, but I’d hate to ruin a series that way. Plus, so many changes happen throughout a television show.

It would be downright confusing for the first half of the season. I mean, imagine watching Game of Thrones that way. You’d be thinking things were going one way only to have it all blow up in your face because each episode packs so much in! I guess the best way to allay this would be to watch the recap as well?

Family Superstitions

I thought this was why people ate the fortune cookie, but I can see how that might be a problem. If you don’t like your fortune, no cookie for you! It makes much more sense to eat the paper, where the fortune is written, right? Well, not exactly, but close enough! The logic is sound, anyway.

If you’re wondering, the way to make a fortune cookie come true is to A) not tell anyone what it says. B) eat the cookie, and C) burn the paper. Can someone contact Heather Ramsey and let her know? This seems like valuable information for the Ramsey family.

That’s Not Weird

Everyone has a big group text and smaller texts to gossip about juicy stuff, right? That’s not weird. Do you even remember what the world was like before group texts? Some people would argue it was a better place, and others would say we had nothing to live for. Whether you like them or hate them, group texts are here to stay.

Wait a minute. If you think this is weird, does that mean your family doesn’t do this? If so, then you guys are the weird ones. Either that or you aren’t in any of the smaller texts. If you only have one big family group text and not a bunch of smaller group texts, I’m sorry to be the one who tells you that, but that means you’re out of the loop.

Any Pams in the Crowd?

Kids are little tape recorders, and they love to mimic their friends and family. Dillon should have seen this one coming a mile away. Asking his four-year-old nephew to say “hi” to the one person with the same name they all yell at each other? Yeah, it was bound to happen just like this.

It would be amazing if he stopped and explained precisely why it happened to Pam, though. She’d either get a good laugh or gently suggest family therapy. I’m hoping for the former, but pretty sure of the latter. I don’t know what I’d say if I found out my neighbors yelled my name to scare each other!

What?

Have you ever tried saying the alphabet backward? It’s a lot harder than you think. Honestly, even dead sober, I struggled typing all of it out. Add in anxiety over being pulled over? I’m done for, take me now! Seriously, though, it’s a pretty useful skill. True, it works for exactly one thing, and even that is hit or miss depending on other factors, but still!

It’s also pretty impressive, and a fun way to spend time with your kids while giving them mad skills to be the life of the party. Hopefully, they also taught them to call a cab or a friend, so they aren’t drinking and driving. Now, that would be a more useful life lesson.

Slide to Unlock

All the millennials have been there: teaching their boomer parents how to use a smartphone. I’m trying to figure out if there was something lost in translation or if this dad reacted so quickly with a joke that he must be a pun genius. All I keep seeing in my head is him doing the electric slide each time he opens his phone. It would be epic, truly!

Seriously, though, if he thinks this is bad, he should have watched my in-laws trying to learn. They kept closing the screen every time they wanted to open it because they would click the side button. Every. Time. I gave up after twenty minutes and got them both Jitterbugs.

It’s Not That Weird

It might be just me, but I really don’t think this one is that strange. Every family has its eccentricities and weird habits, and this one is actually pretty sweet. In a weird way, sticking to the wrong pronunciation people made in their childhood is nostalgic and endearing. Come on, “bergels” is adorable!

And “Honey Roached of Oats”? It doesn’t get any cuter than that. It might be just a tad weird, but at the same time, it’s adorable. It’s a sweet family habit that brings them all together. If an outsider heard them say “bergels” instead of bagels, they might think there’s something wrong with them, but it’s their private joke, and private jokes are great. Prive Joke!

#12: The Non-Existent Boyfriend

Moms usually don’t know how to drop subtle hints, and this mother is no different. I’d have been mortified to walk in the door and see a stocking for my non-existent boyfriend. I guess mom was getting desperate to make a point. I wonder what was in it? In our family, we tailor every stocking to match the personality.

The only way this could be more epic is if she took the stocking down, put it away, and then brought the same stocking out, still filled with everything, years later when EmmyAnn finally brought a man home. Honestly, I’m not sure I would get a boyfriend after this fiasco. And if I did, I’d be reluctant to bring him home for the holidays.

That’s Brilliant

I wish I had thought of this for my grandmother. Shopping for people is hard enough, and shopping for grandma with dementia is even harder. If I’d used her favorite things she’d packed away years ago, they’d be a guaranteed hit! Add in some dishes from her childhood, and you’re talking about a perfect holiday.

I mean, one of the top ten tips for spending the holidays with someone who suffers memory loss is to keep it classic. What’s more classic than all the fabulous treasures in the attic? You really can’t beat this genius idea. It’s better than a puzzle for the seventh year in a row!

But Why?

Is there a bra-hanging tradition that I don’t know about? Was everyone drunk? What exactly did this poor girl walk into? This is super funny, but I need the details! Honestly, though, if I walked into that, I’d have high-fived my family members and joined right in. My family would never!

Now, this could have been in solidarity with a local bar that had been ordered to take all the bras down because they were fire hazards. Is this some sort of an old tradition they’re trying to revive? There must be an interesting origin story here, and if I were this girl, I’d want to inquire about it!

Teeth for Tat

I was just lecturing my teenager the other day on keeping money in her bra, but that’s better than teeth! If I were that grandma, I think I would have gone to the bathroom and pretended to find them there as soon as I remembered where they were, because, well… some things are better kept to yourself.

I mean, there isn’t just leftover food on dentures. There’s the bond sealant, spit, and so much more. All of that stuffed in a bra is a little stomach-churning, right? I guess it’s better than finding them under grandpa’s plaid pants, though. I can think of worse places to find your dentures. We can all be super thankful for that!

Where’s Autocorrect When You Need It?

We’ve all been there – misspelling a word and sending a mass text message with a cringy typo. I can see mom sending the text and wondering why nobody had gotten back to her for hours, pulling out her phone to check if it had been sent, and turning bright red before calling all the parents to do damage control.

I mean, how do you even handle this situation? “Son, I uh, well, I need you to sit all the kids down and explain typos, please!” If I’d gotten this text from my grandma when I was 16, I’d have wondered if someone had hacked her phone! Wait, does this mean no one thought to call and ask her? What kind of family is this?

Two Words: Family Therapy

Some aunts are eccentric, and some are absolutely off their rockers. There had to be some seriously bad blood between siblings for her to do this every year. It takes serious dedication to collect something just to burn it, and vintage dolls and paint are not cheap!

It also takes a lot of talent to repaint these dolls. Burning them after putting in all this hard work seems like such a waste. Why not put this talent to good use instead? Either way, it sounds like there are some unresolved issues between these siblings. Christmas is a time to make amends with the family – why ruin this magical holiday?

Pets are Kids, too

So many people call their pets their kids that I’m sure it gets confusing after a while. Either that or the mother-in-law needs a lesson in genetics. I hope Gill set her straight so she didn’t worry about the rest of the family! That’s the kind of thing that keeps people up at night.

In a way, it’s sweet of her to worry about the dog. Also, I hope the pup is okay. Cancer isn’t easy, even for dogs. I’m sending all my good vibes and well wishes their way so that the dog lives a long life full of chasing squirrels during the day and curling up next to a warm fire in the evenings.

You Can Buy the Toy?!

Wait, cute story, but back up a moment. You’re telling me you can just buy the toy in McDonald’s? You don’t have to gamble on what will be in the box every time? I had no idea this was a thing, and I’m rethinking my entire life strategy right now! My mind has been blown!

Whatever happened to beanie babies? They were supposed to save the world economic system and pay for my college. According to Google, this is still a thing, though. There are beanie babies out there worth thousands of dollars. Maybe this mother was on to something. Let me go check my attic real quick!

Family Tradition

There are many weird family traditions out there, but this one tops them all. I can’t help but wonder how on earth this got started. For one, it’s not like the turkey leg would be edible after being slung across the yard, and for two, WHY WOULD YOU SLING IT ACROSS THE YARD?

And what’s with this whole King Thanksgiving for the rest of the year? Does it come with perks? Responsibilities? There has to be more to all of this that didn’t fit in a single tweet. Twitter needs to up its character count. I think the only thing that would have me chasing a turkey leg is a promise on first dibs for dessert.

Two in One

Having a birthday on Christmas is supposed to be the worst, because of the present situation. I would never have thought having a birthday that occasionally falls on Thanksgiving would come with such an odd celebration! Who puts candles in a turkey?! This is in no way an appropriate substitute for cake. Poor Bonnie.

Hopefully, the tradition will be forgotten by the next generation. Does this mean she doesn’t get a cake at all? The real question is, why the turkey? Isn’t their pie or at least mashed potatoes that this would work so much better in? I’d be devastated because the skin is my favorite part and eating wax isn’t something I want to do at all.

A+, Grandma!

It’s not uncommon for mothers to try and set up their daughters with “nice guys”. Steel Cowgirl doesn’t know what she’s missing out on. The nerdy boys are the ones to chase! Sure, they might fumble a bit to have that first conversation, but these are the guys that not only know how to do some serious research if they have questions but they’re also driven for success! Hint, hint! Grandma is 100% correct.

Still, it does make me wonder what grandma expected Miss Steel to do. “Excuse me, kind sir, can you please tell me what’s under all the plaid?” Family dinners would be epic for years. It would only take once, too, and mom would have stopped trying. Great advice, grandma! You know what’s up.

Grandma Jokes

Dad jokes are pretty funny, but all the best grandma jokes come right from the gutter. Grandmas are genuinely the best at laying down some highly inappropriate humor at the absolute best times. When I grow up, I’m going to be this type of grandma, for sure. I’ve already warned my kids.

That’s the perk of growing older! You can say all the things that come to mind, and no one can do more than cringe and roll their eyes. They can’t exactly tell you to stop or behave yourself. The matriarch of the family gets a pass every single time. It sounds like a pretty good life to me!

A Shocking Revelation

We know a lot of tooth diseases can be hereditary, but that wasn’t exactly the case here. When you have problems with your teeth, you don’t normally expect it to uncover some big, dirty secret about your family. Unfortunately, that’s what happened to the girl who shared this post.

I’m pretty sure this is one stone she would’ve preferred to leave unturned, and maybe she even regretted bringing this up with her mother. Sometimes, the less you know, the better. She could have lived a happy life without ever knowing this if it wasn’t for her dentist, and now she has that extra baggage to carry.

One Big Happy Family

When you’re a kid, you see things in a very naive way, and you don’t suspect people have prior motives for doing things. One person shared that growing up, his family was very close with two other families- they lived next door to one another, always went on vacations together, celebrated holidays and birthdays together, and we’re pretty much like one big happy family.

The kids never questioned this closeness growing up – they were probably just happy to have other kids with them at all times, they were close friends, and they were all happy with this arrangement. Only when they grew up did they find out the truth behind this closeness – their parents were polyamorous!

It’s All in the Family

This is something that seems hard to recover from, but it sounds like this couple stayed together despite everything. This woman shared with her daughter that when she had just gotten married, her new father-in-law made a move on her! That seems absolutely wrong and scandalous, like something you’d only see on TV.

Apparently, she shared this with her husband, but he refused to believe his father would do such a thing. We’re not sure who comes off worse in this story – the father-in-law who tried to sleep with his son’s wife, or the husband who didn’t believe his wife. We also have to wonder why this woman chose to air this dirty laundry with her daughter years later.

Find the Potato

At first, I thought this would be a kids’ game, but apparently not. Can’t be passing Miller High Life out to the youngins! I wonder if they have a whole start line and then team up? Sibling rivalry is real. It’s entirely possible they want to be absolutely sure that Stan DOES NOT win this year.

They have to be a rowdy family with this kind of tradition, anyway, so I’m sure there are hijinks and reindeer games for every season. Maybe it’s finding the pickle for another $20 and some Bud Light at Christmas time! If not, it should be. It definitely should be. This sounds like a fun holiday tradition!

What’s That Look for? It Works!

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and this certainly counts. I wish they had left it up there for longer than a year. That would make a great landmark when trying to find directions. “Just look for the silver Christmas tree on the roof!” “But it’s May, George!” “We know.”

Even better, they could decorate it for every holiday. Valentine Tree with hearts, Easter Tree with eggs, and Fourth of July could be flags or red, white, and blue lights. This has so much potential, and there’s a reason for the tree to be there, so it’s not just eccentric, you know?

Parenting Be Like

Getting kids to do things they don’t want to do can be super tricky. You have to get your imagination going and pull out all the tips and tricks. A fake kid is not a stretch. Still, I don’t know how I’d feel about being compared to Billy Bob my whole life. He sounds like a weird dude.

I bet this tradition passes on for generations. Parenting quirks are certainly one of the top things that get passed down, especially if they are effective. You might even inherit them without realizing it. I wonder what else Billy Bob did or didn’t do before his mysterious disappearance. Maybe he forgot to wear deodorant every day?

Out of The Closet over Turkey!

It seems like there’s never a “right” time to come out; it’s always hard to share such life-changing news with your family. So, right after the “Amen” on Thanksgiving dinner seems like peak planning to me. Wait for everyone to get the blessing out of the way and then just lay it all out on the table. It’s even better when it’s blurted, for sure. Like ripping off a bandaid.

Honestly, I love how this mom handled it. A casual “We know” is always the correct answer. Maybe add an “and we love you,” and you’re good to go! If a family member ever follows in the footsteps of Eleanor’s lovely brother, that’s what you do, okay? Either that or act completely shocked for 2.5 seconds before alleviating the panic with a smile and a hug.

Family Memorabilia

We all keep weird things from the time when our kids were young. Some people keep their kids’ paintings from kindergarten and school, and other people keep some of their old clothes or toys. They make us nostalgic and help us think of the good old times and relive them whenever we want.

However, keeping your children’s baby teeth is something I’ve never heard of before. And keeping them is one thing, but passing them on to your daughter-in-law? Why in the hell would she want to keep something like that? Why would any sane person want to keep something like that? I’m trying very hard not to be judgemental, but this story is making it very difficult.

That’s One Way to Do it

Grandmas have dozens of years of experience dealing with kids, so they often have unconventional methods. They have seen it all, and that includes the one epic meltdown back in 1982 when Henry poked James in the eye with a birthday hat and ruined the party. If you’d been there, you’d be cutting the tips off too.

I wish they had a photo of all the kids lined up with the altered party hats. This is one for the scrapbooks. Still, if they had tried this with my cousins (all boys), they’d have somehow figured out a way to shoot bottle rockets out of the top. Kids can be a bit much sometimes.

Rock the Boat

This had better be a full-on harmonizing rendition every time you pass the gravy. I don’t care how it started, how long it’s been going on, or anything else. If this has been happening for years, you guys have had time to perfect it. There better be vocalizing and hand motions!

It does make me wonder what happens if someone spills the gravy boat, though. Do you break out in other random 70s songs? Is there one for everything you all do? Do you even know what “Rock the Boat” is all about? I’m guessing the answer to that last one is no.

Dad Jokes

It’s not a secret by this point that I love a good dad joke. This one is epic in its own lame dad joke way. It makes me imagine a Griswold family vacation. We all know Chevy Chase is the epitome of the dad that tells dad jokes right before everything goes as wrong as possible!

Marianne, I don’t know if you have kids yet, but when you do, it’s almost impossible not to pull these out at least once or twice. If you must, you can look up a few, so you have them in your arsenal, ready to go. It’s time to take the dad joke to the next level. Moms can joke, too!

Uh… What?

Kids are weird, there’s no argument there. I once had my four-year-old ask to dissect her sister’s freshly dead hamster. I’m not sure where they get these creepy one-liners, but it’s a universal thing. Actually, they probably get it from their parents, although I’m sure mom and dad don’t say it quite that way.

Kids pick up on all sorts of things; they’re a lot smarter and more perceptive than we give them credit for. The kid is also not wrong. If he asked his uncle for a glass of milk, we all know he’d grab one immediately. As creepy as it may sound, this kid is just stating facts.

Buy Someone’s Love

As it seems, all families have their dark secrets. Some family secrets are just weird, while other secrets are straight-up horrifying. One girl grew up without her father making any sort of contact with her, and the poor girl probably wondered about her father throughout her childhood and teen years.

Only when she was a grown-up did she find out the reason behind her father’s disappearance: when she was a baby, her grandfather paid her father $30,000 to become her guardian and caretaker and for her father to step out of the way. We don’t know the full story here, but this seems completely unfair to this girl.

Inappropriate Reading Material

I like the line this draws. Seriously, it’s the perfect choice to be slightly questionable and just a tiny bit scandalous without being rude or crass. Inked is also a decent magazine, so it’s the ideal plan. My only question is whether or not they purchased a stack at the checkout line.

If they actually subscribed monthly to make this happen, perhaps they went too far with this prank. Maybe one of their conservative friends or neighbors will open one up and realize they’re just ordinary people with awesome tattoos, or even better, pick out a tattoo for themselves! Some of that artwork is jaw-droppingly well done.

Jump on the Bandwagon

I can see exactly how this would go down. In comes the toddler, absolutely adorable in his dinosaur jammies with his milk and cuddles up. The boy enthusiastically shows off his lay-down milk, and gramps can’t help but toast with his glass of wine. From there, it’s just a natural progression!

I think I might take a page out of this family’s book and have myself a glass of wine while putting the kids to bed. Honestly, though, as a parent, my first thought reading this was, “Oh god, that’s just a wine spill waiting to happen!” But everyone deserves their own small bedtime rituals.

Life Hacks

A lot of kids find their parents embarrassing. Even if objectively they aren’t embarrassing, but simply doing their own thing, for their kids, they always seem incredibly embarrassing. And all parents have life hacks they swear by. So, these life hacks are usually a source of embarrassment (and sometimes amusement) for their kids.

This dad had a heck of a life hack: At Burger King, he would order a whopper without cheese and add a slice of melted American cheese at home. That way, he saved a few cents on the extra cheese at Burger King. These places always over-charge for toppings! We can see why this might be embarrassing for the kids, though.

They’re Joking, I Hope

I feel like this person is getting his leg pulled. Willie warmers don’t work like that. They’re more like elongated banana hammocks, and they are certainly a gag gift. I don’t know what Auntie was doing, but it wasn’t this! Especially considering it’s way easier to crochet these things.

Maybe they were Dungeon and Dragon players, and she was making dice bags for the team. I’m not sure how that explains it if there were sleeves involved, but it’s my story, and I’m sticking to it! The real question here is if she was using sweat-wicking and warming Merino wool.

The Perfect Souvenir

Katie might think this is odd, but it certainly stuck with her over the years. I bet she never forgets what that villa looked like! Sure, her brother is a bit odd, but that’s what makes a family so incredible. The best part is that not only does she still have the rock, she knew exactly where it was to snap a picture.

Hopefully, she makes up a great story about meteors once she hits her senior years and shows it to everyone, talking about the one time aliens took over her brother’s body. That would take this to a whole new level. Bonus points if she does it in front of her brother and he plays along!

But… Why?

Everyone has a weird quirk, but this one is… extra odd. I keep imagining his brother saying “hi” at the front door and then leading everyone to the kitchen for a quick game of ride the bus before they can take their coats and scarves off. Wait, maybe they all do it at the table?

I’d be judging each family member on who gives it their all. They better be good passengers if this is going to be a thing every time. I want to see everyone leaning when big bro turns the wheel! Otherwise, they’re just wasting creative genius. Wait! This is the twin the aunt gave away. That explains it all!

We Need a Voice Memo

Road trips can be excruciating, and anything to lighten the mood is gold in my book. I think I’ll start doing this when the kids get bored and begin sniping at each other in the back seat. It’s not like my Pacifica is an uncommon vehicle. In fact, I’m pretty sure we saw one yesterday.

Maybe Kansas can help me out with a voice memo of this epic “Car like our Car” song. Was it just one line? Was that the chorus? I need the deets to carry on this tradition! I guess I could make up my own version, but our family isn’t known for our singing voices.

Good Job, Ma!

Ah, to be old and free. You have to be incredibly rowdy to get kicked out of Chippendales, right? These women must have had the time of their lives if a bouncer had to escort them out. They also called just the right person! This is what adult children are for! Parents always embarrass their kids, and this, too, shall pass.

Bryn can act as annoyed as she wants to, but we all know she secretly loved the whole thing. Her mom can’t get away with a single lecture moving forward! “Bryn, honey, you can’t-“ “One word, ma. Chippendales!” Argument. Over. Even better, the boss went with her, too. That’s a double layer of security in future disputes.

Strike Out

Kids always see their parents as embarrassing, and some parents embrace this role and take it to the next level. Some parents try to prove their kids wrong, and others are fine with being “embarrassing.” That’s what parents are for, right? They’re supposed to embarrass their kids! That’s the natural order of things.

So, this father did the thing he knew most about: embarrassing his daughter in front of the guy she likes, who happened to be the cashier at the local grocery store. We have a feeling this was no single incident, but a habit of this father. I’m willing to bet money this wasn’t the only time he embarrassed his daughter in front of a large group of people!

All the Things I Love

This is such a dad cliche. Movies always portray dads as if the most important things to them are their car and or sailboat (or both). They always have these precious belongings that mean the world to them, and that they jokingly love more than their kids. Apparently, this isn’t just a Hollywood cliche.

This dad had three big loves: his sailboat, his VW camper, and his wife (what about his kids? We’re afraid to ask). Every Christmas, we would put presents under the tree for the three for Love #1, Love #2, and Love #3. Never mind about the kids not making this list, but his wife had to open the presents in order to find out which number she was!

Is Your Family Weird? Or Just You?

Miss Cheryl here is trying to pass this off as a weird family moment when really it’s just her. Well, and maybe her husband. Who puts their wife on a work call without asking first? My husband would never! The hashtag for this one is #ThatOneTime, not #MyFamilyIsWeird.

I’m sure she learned her lesson to only text those kinds of things, and he learned his. That’s what texts are for, right? On the upside, everyone at work now knows they have an adorable and funny relationship and that his wife likes him. I guess that counts for something.

Suddenly, a Knock on the Door

Everyone dreads that time of year when lovely people knock on the door and catch you totally off guard, eating ramen in pajamas, and then try to convince you to listen to their spiel. You almost want to close the door in their face, but they’re so darn polite!

This, though? It was perfect. The Jehovah’s Witness can’t possibly blame this mom for her son’s outburst, and there’s zero way he was offended when something so hilarious happened. I bet he hadn’t heard that excuse before! I wonder if I can train my toddler to do this on command…

Must. Not. Smile!

Growing up in America, this whole concept confuses me. Apparently, in some cultures, people who smile are considered unintelligent or untrustworthy. The stoic look is the only way to assure everyone you mean business and know what you’re talking about. Even cracking a smile in public is off-limits.

There have been many studies done on why this is the case, including one that took pictures of people smiling and frowning and then asked thousands of participants to rate their intelligence and reliability. The more stable the country’s public programs, the more likely they would appreciate a smile. I think that says a lot about humanity.

Too Much Information

Talk about embarrassing! Splitting your pants with no underwear is one thing, but turning around and insinuating to everyone in earshot that you share underwear with your little brother? That’s pure evil. I bet everyone got a good laugh out of it, though. I know I would have, as long as it wasn’t my brother.

This is the thing about humans that delights me. Our ability to react with a quip that dispels any awkwardness is one of our best traits. Still, not everyone can do it this well, and I’m in awe that he pulled it off so perfectly and with a great sense of humor. Hopefully, he found some pants later on!

Pure Evil Genius

These are the kinds of plans that make life worth living. Years of a mom trying to throw away her least favorite ornament? Hundreds of ugly elves all over the Christmas tree? That’s what the holidays are all about. I just have one question: Who volunteered to needle felt and sew hundreds of these guys?! That’s a lot of work!

They should just get some modeling clay and go to town. It would be a lot easier, not to mention safer! Still, I can’t wait to see the mass chaos ensue when it’s time to pack the tree up. Will they make it? Will mom finally snap? This needs to be a sitcom. Or at least, a regular seasonal segment on Twitter.
