12 Funny Stories About Family Reunions!
Dear readers,
July is National Family Reunion Month! I’ve never been to a family reunion. My family… doesn’t really get along. My partner has a huge family, but they don’t do reunions, either; everyone lives nearby or visits for major holidays. So my entire impression of family reunions comes from sitcoms and cheesy movies… and from the stories that turn up here at Not Always Right!
From what I can tell, family reunions – much like families – can be a mixed bag. Sometimes they’re full of warm and fuzzy heartfelt moments and joyous reconnections. Other times, they can be strange, hilarious, or just plain unpleasant.
We’ve rounded up twelve stories for you from our archives about family reunions and all the weirdness they entail!
