Something tells me that I won`t be able to look at my cousins with the same ayes uh oh
When I was a young dude playing in bands in Los Angeles, CA I met this young lady and we ended up talking about our families while smooching in the back seat of my friends car. Long story short. She was my cousin.

It was my Dad's first cousin granddaughter that moved to Los Angeles from Colorado (Where we were al originally from). I never saw her after that!!!!
Boban in the 19th century around the world married the cousin with the cousin, and it was normal.handshake
