The importance of family

This is the moment when my boss (the resident of 221b Baker Street) shouted at his big brother Mycroft, after he very rudely told Mrs Hudson to 'Shut up!' You could have heard a pin drop after the incident and an awkward silence as we all waited for Mycroft to apologize. See here for my recording of the moment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoLf-g11p_M

Amusingly Mycroft did say sorry (and rightly so) after all we are all 'family' in a funny sort of way and if we can't fall out and make up then we're not a proper family.

That's what family's are all about. Here are some things family's should do together:

• Have fun
• Eat
• Argue
• Eat
• Fall out
• Get back together
• Eat

and start all over again!

Family is about belonging to a group and feeling wanted and wanting to be with the other people in your group. This is complicated because there are two types of family.

Type 1: The family you are born into, i.e: blood relatives like moms, dads, brothers, sisters, grand parents etc...These all come with certificates like this one.

Type 2: The family you choose. This group of people are really special because if you could choose your blood relatives, they would probably be chosen instead of some of the ones you have to have!

These are members of my family, most of the time they are misable but I love them all the same.

(Mrs Hudson, Greg, John, Sherlock, Mycroft and Molly)

I do have a family from Type 1 as well and they're quite nice so I shall keep them. This would be a good time to remind everyone reading this blog that there is only 65 days left until Christmas which is the time of year when family's eat, argue and get stressed...and have fun :) lol
