becomingkateI just read a story about an 8 year old boy in Canada who confessed to killing 8 pet ducks and chickens. They have different quotes of friends and family saying they don't know what's wrong with the child, he's just violent like that, and I'm like hello, future serial killer.
About halfway through the story the reporter offhandedly mentions that the kid's parents, who are not married, are cousins.
I was like, "blink. blink. Wha?"
Inbreeding is bad, mmkay? Okay, to be fair...maybe they are really distant cousins.
Today we went to a party for my cousin who just got engaged. My son made friends with my other cousin's little girl. It was so cute, they were jumping in the bouncy house, holding hands. I ate way too much Mexican food. They were breaking out the margaritas as we were leaving. I long for the days before I had a child and it was okay to get shitfaced at parties. My mom embarassed me, told me my bathroom was dirty when I visited. Really, was it necessary to mention that? She also said that my husband told her I'm messy. Well I am, and she knows I am, but seriously? My own husband threw me under the bus?
I unintentionally got him back by ruining his birthday surprise. I mentioned to my mom that I bought tickets for something and she asked what they were for. Without even thinking, and with my husband right next to me, I told her. It was supposed to be a surprise for him. D'oh!
