However, just as some bosoms are rock hard, not all families are loving. If your relatives are more like the Munsters than the Waltons, here’s how survive your next reunion: First, have no expectations. For example, try to live with the realization that your brother-in-law the doctor will still charge you two hundred dollars for a six-minute earwax removal visit, despite the fact that a loan from you put him through med school. Next, rejoice in the good luck of your family members! The scary and ironic news that your Cousin Cletus has been granted an early release from prison due to a technicality is a perfect example. And finally, don’t hold old grudges. Just let bygones be bygones, okay? Unless they have to do with your ex-husband having once slept with a sister, cousin, mother, or favorite pet. The shortcut to the Fantasy Island airport takes me right past Eden Key. I’m passing the pool when I receive a video selfie from Jeff. Good boy, he knows how to keep his mother happy. In the video, he, Cheever and Morton are standing on boogie boards, giving the camera the thumb-pinkie surfer salute. A Kamp KidStuff counselor, dressed as Aqua Man, comes up behind the boys and puts his arms around them.
