I went to a cousin's birthday out of town last weekend. I went there with my parents and kid brother.
3 hours later, we reached the bride's house. To my delight, I saw all of my close and distant relatives that I haven't met for years.
After a short exchange of hellos and what-are-you-doing, the next thing that popped out through her mouth is "do you have space in your car to send my children back with you?"
I know I should just help out, she's relative anyway. But the fact that we haven't spoke for years and straight away asking for a favor is quite shocking. Maybe she didn't feel the gap of years between our relationship, but I do.
Relatives. You can't really rely on them.
Just ask Stanley Ho.
