As most of you know, I am taking a German class this semester at the Salt Lake community college. It's a good class, I'm learning lots. This week, for an assignment, I had to make a family tree, complete with pictures. Hooray! Glue!
The only specifications for the project was that it had to include at least one of the following : mother, father, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, grandmother, and grandfather. I have plenty of each of these, so I figured it would be an easy project. I asked mom for a couple of family pictures, and got out my sissors.
I forgot to factor in the limited space. One piece of paper is simply not enough for our family. So I had to downsize. A lot. So now, according to my German teacher, this is my family:
Grandmother Helene (I apologize for this but the example said "Grandmother Helene" and before I knew it, I had written the same thing. I only had so many pictures.) Grandfather Thomas.
They have only three children, Julie, Joseph, and Gracie. This was a space issue.
And then Julie married to Glenn and their five children, Katie, Peter, Tom, Me, and Emily. This has nothing to do with favoritism, I promise, they were just the easiest ones to cut out.
I accidently slashed through my face, so I used Heather's picture for me instead. They were all black and white and I smudged it up really well, so no one should notice a thing. If they squint.
Then I put Katie married to Robert, and then just to be fancy, I gave them a child. Granted, the only grandkids picture I had was one of Steven, so it was the wrong child, but My teacher doesn't know that.
So there you are. The one page version of my family. I got all the important ones in. Hahahahahahaha ha ha ha ha...erm...just kidding...
The good news is, these were family pictures from forever ago, so you all look at least ten years younger!
