People Reveal What Their Families Did That They Didn’t Realize Wasn’t Normal
Families…All of them are so different, and some are quite strange, too. When we are young, we blindly trust our parents and relatives, thinking that whatever they are doing must be right.
You’d be surprised how many people realized that they were born into a very weird family. These Reddit users found out that their parents are not exactly normal for different reasons.
Scroll down below to hear what they have to say about their families!
My Mom Is A Yawn-Yeller
My mom is a yawn-yeller. When she yawns, you can hear it from anywhere in the house.
One time my sister had a friend over, and we were in the basement. My mom yawned upstairs, and my sister’s friend asked, “Was that a coyote?”
Dancing Around The Christmas Tree
Dancing around our Christmas tree. Not in like a satanic ritual sort of way, only during the holidays and your usual Christmas songs are sung. We did this every Christmas throughout my childhood on my mom’s side.
Apparently, it’s a Danish tradition, I believe.
I brought it up to my friends one time, and they thought I was insane. Seemed normal to little me.
Not Flushing The Toilet
We were not flushing the toilet after peeing. We tried to save water, so we basically peed until someone took a dump. Then one day, I went to a family friends’ house and freaked everyone out because I didn’t flush.
Edit 1: forgot to mention that we were a family of five with one working toilet, and my dad shits like three times a day.
Edit 2: Our bathroom was on the second floor, and it had a window.
We Kept The Bread In The Microwave
We stored bread in the microwave. Loafs, buns, rolls, you name it. To use the microwave, we would pull it all out and then put it all back.
Not sure why I didn’t question this growing up. That’s just “where the bread was kept.”
