1. The best storyteller in my family is my Uncle Ernie. He always tells the funniest stories at the best moments just to embarrass his siblings (namely my mother) and to have a good laugh. He's not a fan of telling all the details, and he often exaggerates the truth to make the story funnier.
2. The stories my Uncles usually tell are at night when my family is playing cards at the kitchen table. Everyone is in a great mood, and the storytelling and games usually go one to as late as 1 a.m! Stories are also told when we are sitting around at parties, especially on holidays when people are the happiest.
3. For some reason the story I hear the most is an embarrassing story about how my mother stuck her hand in a box full with popcorn when she was 3 years old. Apparently the popcorn was infested with red ants, and by the time my mother had found out about this she was screaming and running around like crazy. My grandmother had to douse her with a bucket of water and strip her of her clothes. I like this story because it usually gets my mothers face a little red and everyone gets a good laugh out of it every time it is told by somebody.
