An alien’s introduction to my family

Something just crash landed in my backyard. Don’t know what it was, but hit really hard.

When I went to go investigate I met an alien face who said he came to earth because he heard it was a nice place.

I told him it was and that he landed in the right town, so come with me and I’ll show you around.

First I took him in my house so he could meet my family and he could see how we live so happily.

When we walked in he first met my sister. He heard her teasing me about my bare knuckle blisters.

I was gonna take him upstairs so he could meet my brother, but he ran into my parents who were tryna kill each other.

He looked at my mom like she was a bomb and looked at my dad thinking he was pretty bad. Then when he finally saw my brother he was sad.

High on a rush of candy sugar, my brother laughed at the alien and said he looked like a giant booger.

I then told my brother get a grip, but when I turned back around the alien was headed back to his ship.

I said “where you goin?” I thought you’d be glad. He said “I’m goin home because I now realize that my world is not so bad.”
