Family ties

Not to brag or anything, but…

We've got a cousin who lives in Ohio, I believe, and she's been working on our family tree for at least a year. Our very exhaustive family tree. I've never met her, but Grandma has, and they talk at least three times a week. When I was home for the holidays, Grandma told me about a shocking little discovery our cousin made during the course of her research.

As it turns out, we've got a Ciccone arm of the family. And one Madonna Louise happens to be my very distant cousin. I'm glad I didn't find this out back in the days when I was running around the house with a giant pink lace bow in my hair, singing Like a Virgin into my hairbrush, because my head would have totally exploded right on the spot.
