[quote=Anonymous]I have cousins who "are not that smart."  Except guess what: They are.  And it took them a looooooong time to get to their amazing, awesome adulthoods.  They are not nor would they be comfortable in a high-pressure professional DC social environment that focuses on smarts and clever repartee. But they are fun-loving, nurturing, kind, caring, and completely responsible "real" people with whom I'd trust my life.

They started out in jobs like shoe sales at the mall.

They had kids young.

They went to community college to get medical tech degrees.

They thrived in those jobs. They learned amazing arts/manual skills like cake decorating; flower arranging; dry walling; plumbing.

They got married to responsible people.

They have homes with swimming pools.

They take care of the old and infirm great grandparents and are really good at it.

They handle the social gatherings and familiy reunions because they love to do it and they are GOOD at planning FUN.  Bonfires, goofy games with popping balloons in embarrassing ways, giant roasts and bbqs.

Good people.  Very, very good people.[/quote]
