More From William Ralph Inge

No matter how you feel about your extended family or family gatherings you will be attending. this is because now the ultimate reason for attending family gatherings is for your children to have the time of their lives with their cousins. little kids love their cousins. i’m not being cute or exaggerating here. cousins are like celebrities for little kids. if little kids had a people magazine, cousins would be on the cover. cousins are the barometers of how fun a family get-together will be. “are the cousins going to be there? fun!
Cute Cousin Fun
Of all vices take heed of drunkenness; other vices are but fruits of disordered affections--this disorders, nay, banishes reason; other vices but impair the soul--this demolishes her two chief faculties, the understanding and the will; other vices make their own way--this makes way for all vices; he that is a drunkard is qualified for all vice.
Two Understanding Soul
Cruelty, very far from being a vice, is the first sentiment nature injects in us all. the infant breaks his toy, bites his nurse's breast, strangles his canary long before he is able to reason; cruelty is stamped in animals, in whom, as i think i have said, nature's laws are more emphatically to be read than in ourselves; cruelty exists amongst savages, so much nearer to nature than civilized men are; absurd then to maintain cruelty is a consequence of depravity. . . . cruelty is simply the energy in a man civilization has not yet altogether corrupted: therefore it is a virtue, not a vice.

They all broke the rules. they all crossed into forbidden territory. they all tampered with the laws that lay down who should be loved and how. and how much. the laws that make grandmothers grandmothers, uncles uncles, mothers mothers, cousins cousins, jam jam, and jelly jelly. it was a time when uncles became fathers, mothers lovers, and cousins died and had funerals. it was a time when the unthinkable became thinkable and the impossible really happened.
