Weird Williams Family Gathering topics & events...

I have come to realize that there are many things that we do, as a family, that arent quite in the realm of normal.

Weird Williams Family Gathering topics & events.

1: Talking about books & Authors for hours on end
2: Reading trivia cards to eachother "just for fun"
3: Making up OUR OWN trivia questions about random family topics.
4: Trying to name theh capital of every state, from memory.
5: Having a "pre-pack inspection" prior to a Hiking trip.
6: Sending out a packing list prior to a Camping trip (down to the last detail).
7: An extended family news letter every month.
8: An odd obsession with "Quality Volleyball" time.
9: Somehow the topic of "Firefly" (the TV series) comes up at almost every
gathering. Then Debating the reality of the show & preference for charactors.
10: Allen's unbending refusal to watch the movie "Rudy".

... Help me out & send me more quirks & topics to add to this list. I know there is much much more!


Happy Tuesday!

Love the list. There are many more things that could be added. I'll be thinking.

Many of these "quirks" are a result of marrying "quirky" people. (At lease in the Marc Williams family) :) Other than that, we're completely normal. ;)

Telling the same stories over, and over, and over every Thanksgiving and Christmas: "Remember the time when we forgot Courtney at Thanksgiving and she looked so sad?" "Remember when Chris spilled punch all over?" etc, etc.

Oh, you forgot comparing toes & noses, picking up stuff with our feet, and "the eye-roll" (as Jay would put it).

How about lengthy discussions on the effect of the Lusitania on WWI? Or the necessity to have a Patrick McManus story read to us when we camp?
