I have a lot of eccentric family members. I posted about my crazy grandfather recently, but I have a maternal grandmother who is equally eccentric.

Yet, she's actually kind of cool. She whittles wood, makes her own (strange) clothes, worked a many different jobs like wood working, truck driving, dressing up bears, making wooden dollhouse furniture...

she's a hard core video gamer (at 79 years old), and walks out of the library with seventy pounds of books each time she goes. She used to invite the religious door knockers inside and offer them "Irish tea" which they would agree to. Until they realized she was dumping heavy liquor into the cups and so they'd excuse themselves. She liked to laugh as they left.

Oh and she has a ghost named Tobius that she lights a candle for sometimes.

Do you have an eccentric family member?

I could arguably be the eccentric one, but in my family, I have too much competition going on.
