Johnson Family

10. Don't fake it - WE CAN TELL!
9. Smile - but not too much. I've always suspected that when someone over smiles they
probably wet their pants and are trying to hide the fact that they are FAKING IT.
8. Avoid the UM word, as in "I, um, like, um, um, being out of school, uncle Jerry."
7. Make eye contact with Grandma. If you blow this one you might not make it back next year
6. Don't step on a little kid on your way up to or back from the interview. I know, almost
impossible, but try.
5. Don't drool, pick your nose, or scratch an itch. No further explaination needed.
4. Try rephrasing Jerry's questions into questions of your own, like "How serious do YOU
think our relationship is?"
3. Try to be part of a "group" interview. Let the others do all the talking.
2. Throwing wrapping paper anytime, especially during an interview, is strickly prohibitive.
1. Remember, we're not laughing WITH you, we're laughing AT you.
