Family is just accident, Jessie. It's nothing personal, hon. They don't mean to get on your nerves. They don't even mean to be your family, they just are.

About This Quote

Family is just accident, Jessie. It's nothing personal, hon. They don't mean to get on your nerves. They don't even mean to be your family, they just are.

This quote shows how people can often get on our nerves, but we have to remember that it is not always the fault of the people themselves. They may be annoying or even annoying, but they are still family. Therefore, we can continue to love them and respect them while at the same time treating them as a nuisance.
