I agree, tell the stories!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-64683028728714600972011-02-14T08:09:34.341-05:002011-02-14T08:09:34.341-05:00That would be frustrating - not getting any storie...That would be frustrating - not getting any stories at all.<br /><br />We don't have that problem in my family. The older ones were happy to share stories - just not all of them - and at family reunions, by the time you visited all the tables, you might have heard three or four different versions of the same story...<br /><br />Which can be frustrating, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-63155271336310209702011-02-13T23:59:21.512-05:002011-02-13T23:59:21.512-05:00I'm glad my mom's non-story brought you a ...I'm glad my mom's non-story brought you a chuckle, Susan.
