I share a last name with a famous person from my hometown, and this led to the following discussion with my boss and a colleague

I love these! I loved the line about your Uncle John -- once again, audible laughter. While it may be an expensive price to pay, your family has given you some great stories.

I turn things into stories. It's how I cope.

Kudos on being able to rise above this family.

Co: Besides, they can't all be drunks...
Me: Man, you've lived a sheltered life.
Boss: SEAN!

Hahahaha!

Your final statement about that side of the family, though... I agree. After abandoning your mother and four kids to fend for yourselves, I wouldn't keep in touch with any of them either. Good riddance.
