[quote=Anonymous]My father is like this with my grandparents. Visits were always torture once my brother and I got older and realized that we were the only ones trying to carry on a conversation. Every now and then someone would make a comment and everyone else would go "mmm" and then we'd all sit around some more silently looking at the end tables or something. It was extremely draining. But then a few months ago, I visited them alone for the first time ever, without my father, and it was completely different. They asked questions, told stories, kept conversations going--it was like bizarro world. We talked more in those 5 hours than in the last few decades. I've had to reassess everything I thought I knew about their personalities. Neither my father nor my grandparents are taciturn people on their own, but put them together and something happens. Just to say, it's probably not you, OP. And it might not even be them, either. [/quote]
