Everyone’s family is weird in its own, special way. Most of us choose to laugh about it privately, but, in the age of social media, it’s also pretty hilarious to update Facebook or Twitter with a nice juicy anecdote.
So it makes sense that when Jimmy Fallon introduced his latest hashtag, plenty of people jumped at the chance to out their strange, family ways for the world to see. My favorite 15 are below, but if you want more, check out Twitter!
