I hate family gatherings. The minute I came out of my bedroom this morning, my mother (tag-teamed with my grandmother) barked orders non-stop. Do this, and that, hustle, hustle! This was because some of our relatives would be visiting us this afternoon. I hate family gatherings. I said to myself, Neil, you've got to get out there ASAP! Too bad my mom knows me too well, "Neil, stay. They will want to see you." Too bad.
