family ailments, part II

this is a residual thanksgiving post, but it turns out that these family ailments may really exist. so we were walking with my mom, my grandparents, my aunt and my two cousins. and my mom strikes up a convo about the "pokey." and ALL of us start nodding in unison and pointing to our backs and recounting stories of how it has crippled us. it seems that my aunt and her kids have it in a slightly different location, but it's definitely the same sort of pain. after further conversations about all of our aches and pains, my poor grandpa concluded that he should have died before he ever managed to procreate.
