I know some of you may think I'm a bit of a hick considering where I'm from, but I have to tell you that of my family, I'm in the branch which is the most city slicker of them all. So when I say that my hick extended family came to visit, understand how literal that term is. I mean my great uncle just referred to himself as a country bumpkin for crying out loud. I have never heard the term used by anyone in real life before, but of course it would be one of my relatives to be the first. These are also the people that said I was the bad influence in the family (when I was in college and their kids were getting drunk and having kids at 15) and therefore shouldn't be around. Today though I got to listen (I hide when they come to town) to their utter shock and disbelief that my sister and I don't want to have kids. Really why would we want to bring children in to the world when we can't even really take care of ourselves and when it seems like the world is being run into the ground even more than it already is. Shocking... Please tell me I'm not the only one with a crazy as shit family. I feel a little reassurance might be in order.
Peace.
