Went to a Christmas party the other day for one side of my family. My favorite part of the holidays is wondering how many illegitimate children my cousin Kevin (not his real name) would show up with and taking bets on the over/under of said proposition.

About an hour later, Kevin had left to go father more illegitimate children, and another cousin arrived. We'll call him Rick.

We were standing outside the building that my grandma had rented for the Christmas gathering, and I said matter-of-factly to Rick, "Yeah, you just missed Kevin by about 15 minutes."

Rick rolled his eyes. "Uh-huh, I really missed him."

I laughed. Kevin is sort of a black sheep these days, so I thought Rick's to be a completely natural reaction. I wasn't aware of there being any real drama between Rick and Kevin – we were all pretty close as kids, but people do grow apart and go off to father illegitimate children and whatnot. Happens.

I didn't think anything of it, and I probably would have had the same reaction if I'd missed out on seeing Kevin.

A couple of cigarette breaks later, I recounted the conversation to my dad.

"Yeah, there's some tension there," Dad said. "I don't remember who did what, but a long time ago, one of them was throwing the dick to the other's girlfriend or something like that. I can't remember which one was doing it, though."

Throwing the dick!!!

Damn, I love the holidays.
