In "The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse," there are two characters which demonstrate a "crazy streak" in the Garoghlanian family. The first of these is Uncle Khosrove who greets every event, no matter how serious, with the same reaction:
"It is no harm; pay no attention to it."
Even when his house burns down, Khosrove repeats this catchphrase, much to the dismay of his barber and his son. Similarly, when John Byro complains to him about the loss of his white horse, Khosrove simply tells him to stop "crying" over it.
Mourad is another character who demonstrates the family's "crazy streak." He not only shows this by stealing the horse but also by claiming to Aram that he has an "understanding" with the horse. Mourad also sings loudly when riding the horse which Aram interprets as further evidence that he has inherited the family's "crazy streak."
