with the family of my mother's side it is a whole different issue. we DO have a bond, beyond doubts. and all the spouses who ventured to marry a K______ girl or guy have something very important in common: some crazy K______ genes floating around in their kids and grandkids....some crazy stories, inadvertedly inclusive...
being with my cousins is like hanging out with OLD friends, although i've seen them maybe like only four times in my life. no explanations really needed. no showing off, although our family is a whole show off circus. family meetings? ahhhh! everybody starts showing off. I hate it.
but i felt strangely excited that my love got to know some of my cousins. made me feel like....yeah, thats MY family, an important part of my life! you can get to know more about me when you get to know them....I love them. hanging out with my gorgeous looking and talented and wonderful charming cousins is so relaxing because it is SO casual. no worries. just friends. but no hidden dangers, no hidden bad boy intentions. talking about sex, they could be my best girlfriend. thats how it feels. being a K_____ is a special thing. stars could pop up in any corner. rebels and outcasts are programmed into the genealogy. aunts try to be crazy and hip. uncles try to be buddies. family clinch daily bread in Alaska. we, the European cousins, had a special status: no clinch really, because not close enough. what remains: THE BOND.
