Family parties such as the one my family had today can have its pros and cons. Let's look at some of them as it applied to this party.

Pro: Lots of people I recognize and vice versa
Con: Not many people my age causing sheer boredom throughout

Pro: Lots of good food to eat
Con: I get the job of unclogging the toilets

Pro: When I do get bored, I'm at my home so I can find something to do
Con: After a late night, I'm forced to wake up early to set things up

Pro: It's a nice sunny day for a party
Con: We're indoors, there's no AC, and it's hot as hell

I'll try to think of more later.
