Fellow Brainstorms member Julie Leung writes about family and corporate stories, quoting Grant and then going on from there:
Every institution has these stories, and they all work pretty much the same way. They are one of the ways we induct people into the organization. ... These stories communicate essential secrets about the organization. ... These stories are charming even when they are wrong. They are quirky, imaginative, and captivating.
Universities and corporations have their little stories. And so do friends and families. If you've ever hung out with a group of people whom you don't know, stayed with a friend's family, attended a spouse's reunion or spent time with a tribe of in-laws, you'll encounter the culture of membership.
