family is not defined by shared DNA..it is defined by the people who love you as much as you love them, they are the ones you call, and the ones who will never let you fall. they are the ones you trust with everything and anything, and you know that you will never let each other down.
Individuals with whom you share common ancestry, who will repeatedly screw you over (usually monetarily) throughout your life using the phrase, "c'mon, we're family," and who will also make you feel horrible for asking favors (usually monetarily) from them, also using the phrase, "c'mon, we're family."
Hey, I'm $500 behind on my rent. Do you think you can help me get by? C'mon, we're family!
People who get into your buisness and live in the same house as you who your stuck with for the rest of your life till you move out. The worst thing is, sometimes you have to talk to them. :O
A group of annoying random people that supposedly "gave birth to you" even though everyone knows that we were made by flying spaghetti monsters. They annoy you and make sure that you're "okay" even though you can take care of yourself.
