Last class is just about to get out and everyone wants to go somewhere but no one wants everyone to go to their place because the Griswalds live with you/them/every teenager. It's not just the teenagers though, the Griswalds hang around your whole life just peeking around the corner waiting for that golden opportunity to cause the most stress and or embarassment for the least amount of effort. In fact they make it look effortless. We wonder wht we feel paranoid? It's just good common sense when they really are out to get you. In the nicest way possible of course.
You know who I mean. It isn't always your parents/in-laws/out-laws who have the Griswaldish behaviours either, often it's a sibling/half/step or cousin, or a mate (may all the 100 little gods forbid) and sometimes it's you.
Y'all know who you are - each and every one of you has had a Griswald Moment or two. We all go back there once in a while, when too many buttons are pushed, switches are flipped, or toes are stepped on. The uglies arrive and the only way to avoid them is flee.
If you're REALLY lucky, your Griswalds don't recognize their Griswaldishness and they hunt you down in your favorite places and torment you while you make every conceivable effort to maintain civility and not hurt anyone. And they think this is a good thing.
meh!
