It’s Hashtags time, dear Pandas! The one, the only, the irresistibly humorous Jimmy Fallon is once again making us smile, giggle, and chortle when we’re supposed to be working or studying. This time, the critically acclaimed comedian has asked his loyal fun-loving followers to share the funny, weird, and embarrassing things that their family members have done or said. Naturally, when Fallon asks you to jump, you ask, “How high?” So people responded by posting under the #MyFamilyIsWeird hashtag, much to everyone’s amusement.
We’ve collected some of the best tweets for you to enjoy below, so go on and have a read. We think the stories are great and we hope so will you. And we know that every family has its weirdness, so we can’t wait to hear your own hilarious family stories—drop us a line in the comment section at the very bottom!
Samantha Scroggin, who runs the 'Walking Outside in Slippers' blog about parenting, told Bored Panda all about how families can develop fun (and weird!) little rituals that might seem quirky to others but help all of us deal with hard times. Read on for our full interview with her!

This makes me nostalgic! I used to do that with the Debbie Gibson Electric Youth samples.

Well, have you explained female anatomy to him yet? Otherwise it's not at all weird he doesn't know about bodies unlike his own. We all tend to think our experiences are universal until we learn they are not.

This made me think of something: did your parents hide your Easter basket for Easter morning? My whole Catholic family does this. It was only after I had my first kid that I learned no one else does this. I started looking for a good place to hide her Easter basket and my husband (at the time)thought I was crazy hiding the basket. I started asking around and only my family did it. We hide eggs off course, too. But it was fun waking up Easter morning searching for the basket. Best hiding place is the dryer.

There was actually an article about how to do this in a magazine...maybe 60 years ago. I think it was Women's Day. How to cook the roast while you drive to the cottage.

It happens. A stranger hugged me while I was in line at a cafeteria. He thought I was someone else, and his wife apologized and explained that they both thought I was someone they knew.

All the notable people who shared the birthday would be annoying enough but this sounds sick.

When I was a teenager my mom, sister and I went to pick up my father from the airport. When we arrived we found a wheelchair in the parking lot and my mom wanted to bring it back into the terminal. She convinced me to sit in it and she wheeled me into the terminal, people holding the door open for us and finally I had enough and got up and started walking away. As soon as I did that she screamed out “it’s a miracle!”

My region in Spain has two big festivities one the national festivity and another one the local one (commemorating the christian armies conquering the area from the muslim ones). Our family has the tradition of never eating spanish food on the national day (usually we eat french but it can be something else) and ti eat moroccan food in the regional festivity. I always found it a funny way of laughing with this old outdated festivities.

When my now husband and I were dating, he'd embarrass me by asking in Tiffany's, or Cartier, If they happened to have a sterling silver spork? Of course they didn't. And I'd get so embarrassed. And hide in a corner. So to get him back, I bought a silver spoon, and had it cut into a spork. And gave it to him for christmas. and Spork Club was born. With rules, and rituals, and embelishments. spork-6051...6b0991.jpg
