Doesn't mean we are nice.
My great grandmas, in our matriarchal family, were all terrifying property owning women of the Wild West.
My wife's family is very similar. We stumbled upon one another by happy accident. Jesus Christ she had a danger-to-herself-and-others grandma just like I did. Fire in the eyes.
My parents are artists. There were always strangers in their house. If the dogs accepted them that was okay. If not, they were expelled. I can't claim our own house was any different or unprotected. When our kids were teens I'd go downstairs and there would be these strangers standing in front of our refrigerator.
Hi! Who are you?
Just like when I was a kid waiting in line for the bathroom.
I'll ignore the half-digested guns in the dragon poop. And the PTSD.
