That one family member..

In today's world, the concept of family is one that many people cherish and love. Each person has family members, ancestors, for without them no one would be in existence. However, each family has that one crazy, out of this world member that brings the most attention. In my family, that person without a doubt is my Uncle Dan Cotter. Dan Cotter, your typical high school class clown, has not outlived his past just yet. One year for Christmas he came to our family dinner dressed in smiley face boxers, a white t-shirt, and a christmas tie. Mind you, there was around a foot of snow on the ground at this time (He's on my dad's side of the family and they all live in Wisconsin). He's out of this world and a total goofball. At my cousin and I's graduation party, I laid out a book where people could write me messages and stuff like that before I went to school. My Uncle Dan's said "Happy Birthday to you and many, many more!" It was obvious that it wasn't my birthday, let alone it wasn't even close to my birthday considering my party was in June and my birthday is in November. Although my uncle always steals the spotlight, he's the one who's always keeping us laughing. He's a bit off the wall at times but he's so much fun and definitely one of my favorite family members. I love him to absolute pieces.
