The best storytellers in my family are my dad and my dad's brother(my uncle). They both do a really good job of telling stories because they have a same track of thought and lived a life together so they have a lot of vivid memories between the two of them.
The stories my family have told me all take place in southern India, where most my family lived. They lived in a rural area of India so they had a very reserved and simple lifestyle. These stories range from the 1950's to the 1980's.
The most quintessential story told in my family are when my grandfather and his 9 brothers and sisters got robbed in the middle of the night and they worked together to scare away the robbers. Another story that was told a lot was the story where my dad covered for my brother in a big talent show. They look very alike so he pretended to be like my uncle and performed a one man play to an audience of over 1000 kids. These stories were so important to the family because they are some of the most memorable moments in my families past and these stories are really fascinating to hear about.
