So the holidays have just ended, and of course most of us have been spending a little too much time with our families. I noticed some strange, quirky things my family does, and I thought why not start a thread to hear what other peoples families weird habits are! It doesn't really matter what it is, but it must be something that you consider odd!
Okay, so a few days ago we had broccoli with our meal, and I realized that every time we have broccoli, my stepdad strains the water that it was boiled in and then drinks it during the meal.

We put A1 Steak sauce on our mac and cheese.
And it's very good.

All of me and my cousins eat ice cream with forks. No one else, just us. It works better. =\ And me and my grandpa puts ketchup on mashed potatoes. (It's not weird once you really think about it. >>)

Hmmm. I can't think of anything strange that my family does. Other than my dad screaming like heck recently because he got some paint on the floor. Does that count?
Well, my mom cries a lot at movies. But that's because she's sentimental. :)

My parents keep pots and pans in the oven, so whenever we need the oven ALL of the pans come onto the kitchen table.
And when it's time to eat what was once in the still hot oven we set them on the floor and everybody trips over them till the oven's cool enough to be used as another cupboard.
My mom talks to the house plants all the time.

Fizzywings: We used to have a lemon tree that my mom would talk to. Unfortunately it never produced any lemons and we no longer have the tree. :/
Also, an embarrassing and kind of odd thing my mom does: She has a stupid song she sings whenever she scratches our dog's butt. I wish I was making this up, but I'm not, sadly. *shakes head*

My mom and I always fight over the pickle juice after the pickles are gone. Not the homemade pickles, but like store bought pickle juice. One of us always has to sneak getting the last pickles so we can drink the juice first.
We....can't have jello cake without someone (or the entire kitchen) getting cool whip all over the place.
Then there is the issue of pie and cake. Very few of them are not eaten in a bowl with milk.
Oh and cottage cheese....I think only my grandmother doesn't put pepper in it.
My mom and I have a really weird habit of dropping conversations to start a new one...and restart the original one from where we left off a few hours later...and we are all amused and such but then everyone else thinks we are insane. Or hearing a good song on the store radio and shimmying down aisles.
....I think a smaller list is what DOESN'T my family do that's weird. Or maybe what I don't do with my mother...mom and I, weirdest people. Followed quickly by my youngest brother. Everyone else is just out of luck XD

Maybe it's a gardening thing?
And that song sounds like it would be funny up to the point where she'd do it in front of company.
My family also has this weird thing where everybody has a nickname because literally every man in the house till like my great great grandfather has the same name, and the girls are named after other women on either side of the family, which gets super frick frackin' confusing. These nicknames are usually gained during the adorable toddler/baby phases for reasons I don't understand.
My brother's nickname is Chip, as in "teehee he's a chip off the ol' block actin' like his dad".
Mine is Boo, as in "this little girl is adorable because she can't say blueberries".
ANd then Monsters Inc happened and even my friends started calling me that and I can't live it down. I only hear my real name when I've seriously done something bad.

Oh hey! You aren't alone there XD
But nobody in my family, that I knows of talks to plants...but my mom is mean and EVERY year buys this one plant that will die once a month, then [i]miraculously [/i]come back to life. For some reason it irks me, and I call it a zombie plant.
...My family is also EXTREMELY sarcastic. We just got to the point where we'd give out points, depending on how good of a come-back we came up with, how fast we thought of it, and how well it's delivered. (This leads to very weird conversations too.)

Every time we have a meal, dad waltzes into the kitchen and starts singing to some annoying as heck tunes. I wish he would just stop it, ahaha. He also plays this certain song over and over again with his guitar and it stresses me out because the song itself has a distressing atmosphere. Another thing he does is walk around the house while brushing his teeth. I just... don't understand him most of the time, ahaha.
Now that I think about it, he's pretty much the only one doing weird things in our house, if you don't count me bidding goodnight to all my animals individually every night before bed!
