Crazy Uncle

You are the strange uncle suspected of dementia before your time, the family member who relatives shun, who they change chairs to avoid at holiday tables, and whose views they question based on the simple fact of a break in a chromosome. You hang your head over your succotash or your cranberries or your stuffing, listening as they spout their crippled certainties full of confidence that they are not the ones who should be questioning their thoughts.
