You’ll Be Cracking Up as Mama’s Family Reunion Goes Off the Rails

You'll be cracking up as this Mama's Family reunion goes off the rails. The dysfunctional but hilarious family strikes again, this time with one member making his long-awaited return. Watch the short but hysterical clip of a classic skit from The Carol Burnett Show.

It's always nice to get together with family and friends, especially those we haven't seen in quite some time. Typically, at most such gatherings, there is a prolonged period where everyone gets reacquainted. People will ask one another how they've been, how life is treating them and what they are doing at this present moment. That is how normal people function.

However, as we've seen, the Harpers are anything but normal. Eunice, Thelma and every other character in those series of Mama's Family sketches walk and, also yell at each other, to the tune of a different drum.  If you're a member of that family and not screaming at the top of your lungs, you won't be heard and will instead be overlooked, even if you're doing some amazing, one-of-a-kind things with your life.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Eunice's brother, Phil, has come home for a quick visit after five years away. Much has happened in Phil's life, and he's ready to tell everyone what he's been up to, but it's hilariously overlooked. Phil has won several prestigious awards, including the Pulitzer Prize and a Nobel Prize.

Sadly, no one in the family has any idea what those are, or they just don't care. Instead, hilariously enough, everyone is much more concerned about what a dog in the other room is doing and acting than their own flesh and blood.

This hysterical skit illustrates the importance of genuinely listening to others after asking them a question. No one wants to feel like they are talking to a brick wall.

Proverbs 25:12 "Like a nose-ring of gold and an ornament of the best gold, is a wise man who says sharp words to an ear ready to give attention."
