Ruu_Old · 16-09-2011 9:13pm

Flipping hell, it is a wonder you survived growing up at all in that kind of family environment. Congrats.

mr kr0nik · 16-09-2011 9:15pm

No wait...

Christ. I was genuinely expecting "haha yeah OP..we thought we were the only ones!"

This is upsetting.

Arent you great with your family

Some of us was left in dumpsters and had to grow up in the mean streets.

zyxwvu · 16-09-2011 9:19pm

Yes! I tought we were the only ones, still play when visiting the sisters. It does get ultra competitive though!

I'm embarrassed to thank that

sunflower27 · 16-09-2011 9:34pm

I read that as the first one to name the ad got a pint.

I was thinking, what a very liberal family

sunflower27 · 16-09-2011 9:39pm

We used to watch a programme in Australia called The Price Is Right. Not sure if you got it over here, but if not, essentially contestants had to put prizes in the right price order, starting out with the least expensive prizes (say a soda stream

) and then leading up to bigger prizes like a pool, holiday, lounge suite and always a car (sometimes the holiday was more than the car

)

Anyway, it was pretty hard to get the whole 'showcase' and if anyone ever got it, my sister and I would jump up, hold hands and spin each other around going wahoooo, yipeeeee etc. Drove my poor mum demented.

We loved it

Hilarious, if you can be bothered.

My family did that sometimes, and I know at least one other family that did.
