40 Ridiculous Surprises Given To Family Members That We'll Never Understand Why
Me: I love surprises. Them: Say no more.
Is your house often overrun with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents every holiday? Family!
You can't do away with them, no matter how much they get on your nerves sometimes. The best thing you can do is laugh at their shenanigans.
Of course, you could taunt them too, but you didn't hear that from us. Just kidding!
After all, it is often said that laughter is the best medicine. What's more?
Humor and laughter are important elements needed to build a happy and healthy family. Siblings put down their swords, parents loosen up, and relatives briefly forget the annoying questions they were about to ask you for the tenth time when you share humor.
Interestingly, our family has a way of surprising us like no one else does. Perhaps it is because they have been with us at every significant point in our lives and know us in ways nobody else does.
Sometimes, they may decide to use some of the information they have gathered over the years to surprise us. In this article, we have put together a collection of some of the funniest moments when people's family members did something ridiculous that left them scratching their heads.
Check them out, and let us know which ones you can relate to.

In Summary...
No family is perfect. Despite the fights, the arguments, and everything else in between, family is family, and most of the things they do come from a place of love.
Although it may sometimes seem like they do things intentionally to embarrass you, it would help if you constantly reminded yourself of how they love you unconditionally. They will always love you, whether you are the best or worst version of yourself.
Of course, there will be lectures, but that's because they want the best for you. Unlike friends, you don't choose your family, and you can't replace them with anyone or anything.
While other people in your life can always abandon you for new acquaintances, your family will always be there for you at the end of the day. Since you can only have one family, it is best to cherish every moment you have with them, including the ridiculous ones.
