Crazy Relativescurvylittlegoth writes, "My Grandma is crazy, crazy mad. As well as regularly putting curses on us all, she once fell asleep in the armchair on a sunny afternoon, Barley Wine in one hand, Peter Stuyveson in the other, only to wake up several hours later to a Darth Vader sounding fireman. She thought she was in HELL as the smoke and flames billowed round her..."
Are any of your relatives this loopy?

Slightly eccentric rather than barking madOne of my aunts talks to wheelie bins.
Another aunt.....
- shaves off her eyebrows and pencils them in....badly;
- bought me cologne for Christmas (I'm female). It was that '50p at the market' stuff too. My cousin got a better present of an umbrella. Shame he's permenantly on crutches.
- has grown her fringe and has it piled up on top of her head so she looks like Mr Whippy.
- is still convinced 70s wide collars are in fashion and wears black tights with white sandals.
- her jaw starts moving a good 5 seconds before her voice decides to kick in, like a badly dubbed kung fu film.
But the nuttiest relative has got to be my late grandad. Examples include.....
- playing hide and seek with me and my cousins wearing a balaclava and dark sunglasses (I have photographic proof of this).
- throwing a stepladder out of an upstairs window because he couldn't be arsed to carry them downstairs. Broke the steps and most of my nan's flowers.
- going swimming in the sea on a family outing, wearing white pants because he didn't have his swimmers. They went seethrough.
- walloping my dad over the head with a wooden mallett for a laugh. Something to do with keeping his troops in line when he was in the army in WWII.
- insisting that Taboo was a new kind of squash and gave it to me and my cousins (I was about 7 or 8 at the time).
I miss the mad old git.
