Pondering the Familial

While traveling south of the Mason-Dixon, I saw this on a T-shirt in a motorcycle shop:

KENTUCKY
We Love Our Cousins

It made me laugh, and subsequently scared me.

But then, to offset my conflicted emotions, I saw this quote framed in a gift shop:

“We raise our girls to reach for the sky…
but sometimes
it’s still just
all about the dress.”

And ain’t that the truth?
