Our Long Family Tree


Storytelling

Everyone needs a favorite family story to tell, preferably a funny or sentimental one (not sad, please).
  • 1st - Comment on this post: Tell a little bit of your story and ask a question so we can try to guess who you will be talking about.
  • 2nd - Once it is guessed then you will tell the full story.
  • Example: 
    • Question: Who do you think drove a truck around a campsite until the gas ran out because he/she didn't quite know how to use the brakes?
    • Full story: You guessed it! Aunt Dink, Mama, Grandma Long, Luzinka - whichever way you knew her, she was the silly, young girl who hopped into Grandpa Newman's Model-T Ford for a joyride. Not a moment after she finally got it going, she realized she had no idea how to stop. In quite a spectacle, she drove round and round a lady's campsite until she eventually ran out of gas and came to a stop. She had an angry lady yelling at her, worried and furious parents, and a hilarious story to tell her family throughout the rest of her life.
