Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you summarize events in your life, especially situations you think are complicated and reasonable, the base truth becomes very obvious?
(Please remember that these situations are being overly simplified...because they are funnier that way.)
Where I live:
Up a 4 mile dirt road, in a town that technically isn't a town because it doesn't have a population. We live inside an addition to a 70's double wide trailer. On the lawn there are 3 campers, 2 boats, 6 running trucks, 3 city cars, 6 quads, 2 tractors and a backhoe.
My Hillbilly wedding reception:
My new father-in-law's ex wife, who he hadn't seen in 3o years since she walked out, showed up. My father threw a punch at my father-in-law, only to be broken up by my sister-in-law's brother (who was dating my sister.) The top layer of my cheesecake wedding cake fell off as we were trying to cut it, so they completed the cake demolishing by smearing it all over our car. Yeah...I think my side of the family has some Hillbilly-ness to them too.
I am a Great Aunt:
My favorite nephew isn't technically my nephew or even my husband's. He is my husband's half-brother's, ex-step son. His beautiful new baby is my Great nephew, or my husband's half-brother's, ex-step son's son. His awesome new wife is actually MY 4th cousin. I love to point out that I'm more related to her, than Curtis is to his nephew. So...when my kids say, "My cousins are coming over!!???" They are right, but they don't know the truth. Baby Nolan is their 4th cousin once removed. (Thanks mom for teaching me enough about family history to understand my "relations" in these here hillbilly parts!)
