As Robert De Niro famously said in Meet the Fockers, a family is like a “circle of trust.” It’s not only the shared DNA that links you to that group of people but it’s also the stories you’ve created along the way.

We are bringing you some amusing and heart-warming stories of families bonding together even in the most unexpected ways.

My dad asks why, and my stepbrother replies, “Because I want you to promise to take me fishing whenever I want first.” © vogera/ Reddit
