oh yeah, my grandfather on my mom's side participated in the air traffic controller strike back in the 80s and was fired by Reagan. he wrote him a letter calling him a "big old political oval office". i think he has a copy framed in his office.

When I was in elementary school, we had a week every year called "book week". The rule behind book week was that a few times a day, the principal would come over the loudspeaker and announce that it was reading time. You had to have a book ready to read for 15-ish minutes, and if you didn't have one ready, there was a bookshelf in the classroom for you to grab one out of.

I had a choose your own adventure book all week, but on Friday I forgot it at home. When reading time was announced, I ran over and grabbed a big picture book called "The Body". I opened it up and there was a big 2-page picture of a skeleton, laid out like a centerfold. The kid next to me, Kurt, said "oh gross I hate those things!"

I said "what do you mean? That's what's inside all of us!" He said "no it isn't, they're scary!", so I pointed out the skull, where our nose was and our mouth and eyes. He started screaming at the top of his lungs and wouldn't stop. Our teacher had to take him out into the hall because he was melting down.

He never came back to class again.
and then he went on to found Nirvana

Two of my great great grandma's kids were her grandkids, and her 3rd daughter was locked in the attic away from the family after she got pregnant a second time at 16 causing my great great grandpa to say he never wanted to see her again!

Her 2 kids turned out fine, but she lost a ton of weight and by the time her parents died and she was 'found' she couldn't really talk anymore.

My mom met her about 5 years ago and started freaking out as quietly as she could. She'd spent every summer in that house as a kid and never knew.

op needs to make a sequel thread where we vote on the most hosed-up skeletons. my vote goes to either the mercenary rascit grandpa or the family that reenacted part of flowers in the attic.
