This is one of the best blogs, thanks. I have a relative who is a closed minded bigot and is also so proud of what he calls his family. I think this would make his head explode. He just couldn’t accept it as true even with all the DNA evidence in the world.
One of my cousins actually invented the atomic bomb. He later regretted it, saying, “I am become the destroyer of worlds.” English wasn’t his forte. He told us they didn’t even need to drop the bombs, the Japanese were already surrendering.
“am become” was correct in English until sometime in the nineteenth century, and is still found in poetry as a stylistic archaism — and your cousin was quoting from a poetic English translation of ancient Hindu Scripture, so it’s quite all right,

My family is growing as fast as the entire human race.

This is too fun. Okay, I’ll confess. A relative of mine slept with Bill Clinton.
My cousin works at Area 51.
I’munna lay it out, here’s the thing, a lot of my relatives are rotting in prison, too damn many.

I’m not denying some are the worst behavers. If they knew we are all family, they might not be in there?
My cousin invented the lightbulb.
Cousin! Great to connect! Hey, I’ve been needing a ride upgrade. Can you loan me $1,000? 😉
We have a relative in the loan department. He’d be glad to help. 😉
logical and wel articulated.
