The Five Grapes of Welch's Grape Juice

My family? You wanna talk about my family? Well, if you look at us from the outside you see this calm, relaxed, jolly, happy-go-lucky family that has pinics every Saturday and dinner at the table every night and has everyhting under control.

WRONG!!

Well, not completely. We don't ever go on picnics and almost never eat toget her. We all have such busy lives that it is very hard to spend time all together.
Sometmes I'll treat my parents to a movie of their choice (it's really me mom's choice, my dad just goes cause that's what married people do, but he does love her..too much) and my sister and I always play video game and watch action flicks together, while sitting and figuring out what to name her latest character for her books. But my brother, I'll feel like I have to schedule and appointment just to spend a meaningless fiveminutes together. But every now and then he and I will get into a good discussion; our last one was about fate and freewill, he's believes in Optomistic Realism.
My dad has to be the coolest of us all. He's on the hill and knows more about celbrities that most young people. "I know her, that's Jessica Alba" he'll say as he walks down the stairs into the den where I'm watching TV and I just have to look at him with amazment. Plus his atire has changed drastically. My sister and I use to have to monitor what he wore and if it didn't match we would send him back upstairs to change. But lately he has been matching well, but every now and then...
My mom is our life guard. She saves everyone while performing CPR on herself. It's amazing how she juggles her life nd all of ours, but I think that's all moms specialties (my mom's the coolest). She's also our walking encyclopedia. No matter what the subject is, she has a little insight into it. She doesn't like sports and cars to much, but knows enough to keep my dad happy.
My brother and sister are the same person with different morals and priorities. My brother is all aboutliving life and enjoying it while it last, while my sister is about getting the job done and then having fun. The two of them together is choas. We call them the Task Taker Offers.
I am the perfect blend of all four of these people. And because we all mesh together very well, we don't make the perfect family, but we're pretty close.

Screw Fate!

I believe that everyone has free will. The way I think of it is that if Little Jonnie hurts Little Timmy, Little Jonnie cannot blame anything or anybody for what he did. Most people wan to say "TV and what I see on the news affected my judgment," but these comment cannot hold up in court. The decisions we make hurt not only us, but the people around us. Now, if there was fate, or like in mythology the three old ladies, why would it or they hurt others? Is that not cruel? Maybe "they" are that cruel, to let other people get hurt based on our decisions. Or you can blame the root of the problem, you and me.
