We watched the dysfunction so you don’t have to
Manage episode 513699361 series 3611132
What do you do when the wildest stories in your life are the ones you didn’t cause—you just watched? We dive into the hilarious and heartfelt mess of secondhand dysfunction: a sibling clinging to a car hood to save neighborhood kittens, a dad proudly returning from the pound with “our” collie that was definitely a Labrador, and a mysterious 70s women’s gathering where a legally blind grandmother briefly claimed clear sight. It’s a tour through the moments we’ve normalized, the roles we played as witnesses, and the ways humor helps us carry complicated love for the people who raised us.
