Family

One of my pet peeves is when my mom eats she pops her jaw. It is an accidental and involuntary action that still bothers me. When my dad eats I can sometimes hear him swollow and it is the worst of sounds. My family sometimes eats in silence and I can hear these disgusting sounds all the time. I usally go into another room to eat or tell my parents of the annoying sound that I cannot stand. Sounds that people make while eating are the most disgusting sounds I can think of. When I eat at school I never hear any noises from eating because there is so much commotion in the lunchroom.
My "brother" Grant came into my life when I was young and he was still in high school. He would babysit us often. After he had trouble in college he came back to Atlanta. Grant babysat us for a long time until he eventually moved in. He now was like a brother to me and my siblings and a son to my parents. Grant would take us places and hang out with us and even drive us to school. He became the closest non relative I have ever had. My whole family felt like we had adopted him and even called him our family. He was as close to me in my heart as my mom and dad. He has since moved out but is still in touch and has come over to see us many times. WMy family even saw him when we went out to get Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
