Cousin unknown

Today I talked to my cousin Joe on my dad's side. Joe is 38 and doesn't know me. This just is how our family works.

Someone that I know came by this morning and gave me his card. I looked at the card and said, hey this is my relative. She didn't come by to give me the card, but was instead visiting a neighbor and there I was so she gave me the card. She said that this man could help us make some money. I thought scam, but when I looked at the card, I thought family. It could be scam still, but now it's get scammed by your family. That's great, who wouldn't want to know the person that could scam them, but he is probably a great guy that I just have not know for 38 years, right.

I called him up and introduced myself. He is coming over at 4 pm today. I hope he can share in the family warmth that we don't have. What a family. He wanted to know why we don't know each other. That is like asking most people why the sky is blue, it is just too complicated to answer in one gulp. I told him that I don't generally invite strange men over. He said he wasn't a stranger, but a relative.

That's great a strange relative in the house this afternoon.
