I think I wrote some humor about my then-18yo sister that caused uproar in their little town of Podunk, Alabama. While the response from non-family was positive, my mother was not amused. Then there was the essay I wrote on the history of my paternal grandparents, based on letters only I had ever read, that made my father's brothers start hollerin' (apparently the legend of Fred & JoBeth CANNOT be altered).

These days most of my best work (drama) is based on people who are more online now than ever before, and consists of mainly family members. While I love my family, they make me laugh at (and with) them, and I can't not share that amusement.
