They are! FML is proof that old people get away with anything that they want to get away with.

The good news is that your mom is young enough that she has to keep up the false pretense that you are at least presentable. So, that's kind of a win for her, I suppose :)

Genetics. If ur "ugly" then most of ur fams prob is too. But I highly doubt that ur ugly. Maybe ur grandpa and mom for having ugly personalities.

Not everyone can be beautiful ... Guess you'll have to work on the more important things like your character & finding him a nursing home .
