It’s all “but it’s only you three and your parents. Your family isn’t that big” until you go to a holiday gathering with us and there are 50 people crammed into a one story house and people are saying “did (person) not show up this year?” And then it’s like “your family is really big” like, yeah, I did say that???

#emma posts #my graduating class contained two cousins and one cousin’s future wife as well as me #and my class was way less than 30 kids #the four nearest houses to my parents one are all family. and we live in the country #we aren’t all geographically nearby though #yet a family spread across two states will converge for some event #I remember when I was a kid and we would have Christmas at my grandma’s #and you would have to just step out into the snow for a minute #because fitting so many people in such a small house heated the place up #and we have EVEN MORE people now #although the deaths might have evened out the births and marriages #i think the living number is higher though #my dad had four siblings and my oldest cousin is slightly younger than my dad #my mom’s side is kinda normal sized #so I think it’s a fair comparison #because the gatherings are just my parents parents and siblings+ kids #and yet my dad’s side barely fits in a normal house #which was annoying on the cold holidays when we’re all in one building #we haven’t been doing as many of the holidays since Covid though #the family was already big when I was born. but at this point we could make our own yearbooks
