Your family was chaotic, to put it bluntly.

Everyone had busy lives, and loved a good conversation full of gossip.

All of this chaos, all of those loud children, in one concentrated place.

Your parents bothering you about your life too.

Normally, you were always invited to these monthly dinners, they always occurred at 6pm on a Saturday.

And normally, you would find some excuse not to go.

But your older brother, was getting on your case, and this one you had to attend.

Your older brother, his wife and kids, your younger brother, and his girlfriend, your parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Not to mention whatever family friends were invited this time around.

So, there you stood.

Outside the door of your parents house.

The chatter, scream and laughter, you could hear them from outside.

The light from the windows was warm, and through the door you could see kids running around like maniacs.

It was time to go inside.
