Be Aware Of My Family

The rest that is there, that is...
Pic: Bro in the United States. With a gun.

Yesterday night Bro called me. He sounded so darn sad, missing our Mum.
He and his wife are fighting, as Ingo and I.
We talked about our Mum and he told me this... rather not so funny at the time story. But now we had to laugh.

What happened.... Bro was in his shop a few month ago when three officers entered and demanded to speak to our Mum. Actually they said they need to take her with em.
Bro was quite shocked.

The lady in question (with her first kid, me):

Mum had inherited my Dad´s weapons.
Dad was a musketeer in his free time and generally liked to shoot (things).
(Here his club (he was one of the founders) think of my Mum in memoriam)
He grew that beard only for the occasion, the Sehusa-Festival.

I have to insert an insane story here: I was 9, I guess, my parents wanted to go out, Bro was 4, we lived above the shop, hence Dad had a Magnum 45 revolver. On the board.
He took me to the side, took the Magnum, and said, "if a burglar enters the house, take the Magnum, put the switch to 'f' for fire and shoot him. Take care you do not injure him, but kill him", he said. "If he survives, we have to pay his rent. And save one bullet that you shoot in the ceiling afterwards. Tell the police this was your first shot to warn him off."
He was serious, too.

No, really!
And I had the most horrible night with certainly no one breaking in.
And even now, I´d remember to switch to "f" first.
Ages later Ingo took me to a place where we were allowed to shoot. Guys... I never even hit the wall... in the ceiling it went.

Back to Mum... she had herself registered for Bad Harzburg, where the air is better. As it happened she went sick before she could move in. Letter after letter arrived asking if the weapons are in a safe - which is requested since 9/11. They found out where Mum lives and were serious.
Can you picture this? Hilarious! Three officers taking away my small, tiny Mum? I just had to laugh...
Certainly they could show the weapons are safe. They were confiscated and Bro now tries to get them back.
Weirdos, my family. Wanna have a proof? Who takes a pic like this?!

At Bro´s 5th Birthday...

I was quite... angry? Disappointed that Bro told me Wednesday a week ago he´ll call the notary and tell me asap and I never heard of him.
But the moment I heard his sad voice all anger was gone. Life is a wild ride (and this was when snow was still fun):

We went through a lot together, Bro and I. Here we are in Vienna on Prater, a huge amusement park.

See that rather large ,tall man in the background? "Uncle" Adi. He now weighs some 50 kg. Cancer eats him up.
