Intro
Someone once said, "Families are like fudge-mostly sweet with a few nuts". Well my family is a bit different. They may be sweet, but we have a whole lot of nuts thrown in. If you don't believe me, keep reading.
My dad, Steven Hyde, likes to act like a rebel. For most of his life, he has been very suspicious of the government and corporations. When he was in high school, his parents abandoned him, and he ended up moving in with his best friend (my "uncle" and godfather), Eric Forman. He owns a record store that his biological father helped him start. When I turned 16 I started working there, too.
My mother, Jackie Burkhart, was a very rich child, until her dad was arrested and her mom ran out on her. Her attitude, which she lets show a lot, is pretty thoughtless, superficial, and spoiled. However, she does love her family, I can see that and it is obvious every day. She started out dating my "uncle", Michael Kelso. Then she dated my dad, they broke up, she dated him again, they broke, dated again, broke up again, before she finally moved on to my "uncle" Fez, who she later married and they had my baby sister, Katelyn.
My "Uncle" Fez is probably the most interesting person in my family. We really don't know where he comes from, but we know it is somewhere foreign. Another thing we don't know, is how to pronounce his real name, so we call him Fez, or Uncle Fez in my case.
My "Uncle" Michael Kelso, known to everyone as Kelso, is a weird one, too. He isn't very bright, but he has a good soul, although he does like to "burn" my father and uncles quite a bit. He is married to Brooke, and when they were teenagers, they had a daughter, my cousin Betsy.
My "Uncle" Eric and "Aunt" Donna Forman are my parents best friends. Like my parents, they dated and broke up, dated and broke up, dated, got engaged, broke up, dated, got engaged, then finally married. Growing up, they were neighbors and their parents were best friends. My aunt got a job working on the radio and my uncle had a few different jobs. After they got married, they had a son, my best friend, Dustin. A few years later they had his little sister, Torry.
When we were in third grade, Dustin and I met and became bets friends with a girl named Brandi David. We loved all the same music, we had the same hobbies, and clicked instantly. The only difference between the three of us is that she is deaf. When we first met her, we weren't really sure what that meant or how to act, but after a while we got over it and we really don't even notice anymore. With me and Dustin around, no one can bother her.
Then there's me. Veronica Katherine Hyde (although everyone calls me Ronnie). Throughout all of high school I managed to maintain perfect grades. I was also involved in some clubs and sports at my school. However, my biggest hobby is singing. Making music brings me the biggest pleasure in my life. Dustin and I both joined the glee club when we got into high school and although we were made fun of by people, we loved it. The only difference is that Brandi and Dustin are the only ones who know about it for me. Our family knows that Dustin joined, but I made them promise not to tell everyone that I joined. My parents just wouldn't get it. I work in the music store with my father, and he thinks that being part of a group is like following "the man". So I didn't tell them.
Basically, that is my family. We are weird, loud, nuts, and probably a bit rude, but we mean well and we love each other, which is all anyone can ask for.
