Family Values

Let's face it--the Swan family is just not that affectionate. It's rare to get a call on your birthday and common to find out that your sister is pregnant from Facebook. The last time we spent Christmas together was 1998. Each year, you get one gift that covers your birthday and Christmas because frankly, Dad can't remember either one.

But there is one day each year that the family will actually remember and celebrate together: Star Wars Day.     

Get your inhaler and LARPing gear ready, because you are about to be out-nerded by this Swan family email thread:
