My boyfriend's dad compliments other drivers when they follow the rules, like "Beige Camry just put their turn signal on. Nice!" We call it his "Anti-Road Rage." #MyFamilyIsWeird

We often tell people how my brother Phil doesn’t come to family events and how it’s a whole thing. We made Phil up in 1995. #ThatsMyFamily

Whenever me or one of my four sisters brings home a boy, we like to turn off the lights, sit in a circle, and chant random things as he walks in the door. #ThatsMyFamily

When my son was a toddler, his best friend couldn’t pronounce ‘You’re welcome.” It came out “You’re rectum.” 40+ years later, our family still responds “You’re rectum” when someone says, “Thank you.” #ThatsMyFamily

At Thanksgiving we play a game called “truths,” where the (now adult) children have to come clean to our parents about something we previously lied about. 😎👌🏼#ThatsMyFamily

Every time my dad launches into a random historical story, we all pretend to smoke tobacco pipes until he finishes it. Then he gets all exacerbated at us for not taking his "pearls of wisdom" seriously #ThatsMyFamily

When we were little my mom would be driving us in the car and say “hey what’s that over there?” We would look out the window saying “what what?!” She would then swerve making us hit our heads into the window. She would laugh really hard every time #ThatsMyFamily

I once had to revise the family rule, “No throwing a football at people while they are peeing” to “No throwing ANYTHING at people while they are peeing” because my three boys discovered a loophole. #ThatsMyFamily

My mom used to wake us up Thanksgiving morning by holding the raw turkey by the armpits, making gobble noises and chasing us into the kitchen. #MyFamilyIsWeird

My parents have rescued over 500 dogs in the past 20 years or so… every time one passes away, my mom buries it with a token so it can “remember” us… that token is usually something from the house… there’s a Nokia cel buried somewhere that I’m sure still works! #ThatsMyFamily

My family hides an almond in the stuffing, and whoever finds it gets good luck for the next year. Last year my brother choked on the almond, so this year we switched it to a raisin. #MyFamilyIsWeird

When we sing Happy Birthday, we sing it as horribly as possible or just yell random things throughout the song. #ThatsMyFamily

My brother thinks potatoes taste better cold, so he puts a plate of them in the freezer at the beginning of the meal and by the end, he has frozen potatoes for dessert. He calls them “Fro-Po’s”. #MyFamilyIsWeird

My family randomly starts clapping at nothing, then we all have to shake hands before we stop. Idk why. #thatsmyfamily

If we were sick my mom would cheerfully trill, “It’s not the cough that’ll carry you off; It’s the coffin they’ll carry you off in!” Terrifying. #ThatsMyFamily

Anytime we give a birthday gift to ANYONE (kids, adults, no one is immune), we drop a can of the weirdest edible product we can find in the gift bag. Last lucky person got a can of Spotted Dick. #ThatsMyFamily pic.twitter.com/ce0ZgwvkSG

As kids, my dad would substitute the phrase “let’s hit the road” for “let’s be slapping the pavement” ahead of family road trips. Now everyone’s grown and still using the phrase. #ThatsMyFamily

We (brothers/sister) wrestle like teenagers. Anyone new to the family is in shock for a bit. The shock turns into cheering for the short one (me). We're in our thirties so we should really start thinking about strained muscles, broken bones etc #Thatsmyfamily

Everyone in My Family would make jokes about their age when it was their Birthday. To this day, I am still not sure how old my mother is, and even when she tells me, I DON"T BELIEVE HER!! She wears a hat with a POT LEAF and says it's a FERN. So hey, who knows what!!! LMFAO
