Family Reunion Rules of Engagement
Since my Dad is considerably younger than my uncle (and taller, with more hair), all my cousins are quite a bit older than I am. Respectively, all their kids -- I guess they would be my first cousins once removed? -- are in their late teens or early twenties.
The youngest of them graduated from high school this spring. He's going into the Marines, and I just couldn't be prouder. I'd also love to be a fly on the wall the first time he smarts off to a superior. He's got a bit of a mouth on him.
But I digress. The whole family was at his graduation party, and my only female first-cousin-once-removed was sporting a new tattoo. Just above her right boob. It's a peace sign with the word "Imagine." Nice little tribute to John Lennon there. Nothing wrong with that.
I'm like, "Hey, nice tattoo!"
And her mom, my cousin, is all, "Can you believe she got another one?! Can't you talk some sense into her?"
And I'm like, "Um, dude? I have three, remember?"
Three things to remember about Wenchie's family:
1. Don't let Uncle Ron touch you when he's been drinking.
2. Never, ever ask Grandma how she's feeling.
3. Cousin/Auntie Wenchie is NOT a role model.

I want to hear more about Uncle Ron. Sounds like my kind of guy.
