If his friends ever asked about the guy that came to pick him up from grade school sometimes, Toby just smiled and nonchalantly said, 'Oh, that's just Weird Uncle Jareth.'

When he was older, and people asked about the same guy who had started to date his sister, Toby kind of grimaced and said, 'Oh, that's just Sarah's weird boyfriend.'

Then came the day when Toby came home from college, bringing his new girlfriend with him, and of course, she asked who the guy was dancing on the dinner table for everyone's entertainment, and all he could do was sigh and say, 'Welcome to my family.'
