Car doors ajar, cars half-parked in the street, traffic is blocked in both directions while sisters hug and greet each other. They hug like they haven't seen each other in months - though it's only been about a week or so since they last met. The purpose of this meeting is to determine when they will have the next meeting. In other words, they meet to talk about the next meeting - nothing ever gets accomplished. It's a family affair, and this is what our family does.
