OK, my task (if you recall) was to get along with all my relatives during our family reunion in Arizona. Overall, I did well- I was genial, funny, and accommodating. But I am sad to admit that I failed.
The real snag came from my crazy, crazy-rich aunt. Within 4 hours of my arrival, she took me aside and asked if I wanted to give my mother the best present ever. My only reply was a raised eyebrow. She then proceeded to tell me I should shave off my facial hair and keep it off as the gift.
Without saying a word, I turned around, walked off, and did not talk to her for 3 days.
I am reminded of the saying that you should choose your friends with care because you have no choice in your relatives.
