Cousins...

”Elliot... Elliot” “What?” “...hi”

-Beau, 2016

Until this Christmas, I hadn’t seen my cousins for two years. Considering that they are 8 years old and five years old, that’s a long time for them. In fact, I don’t even think Griffin, the younger one, remembered me. 

When I last saw them during the thanksgiving of 2016, they repeatedly annoyed me by being... well... toddlers. So I was expecting them to be the same when I visited them for Christmas, but instead, I found put that both of them had matured greatly in the two years I hadn’t seen them. In fact, after a few days, I had decided that I got along with them really well.

They seemed to know when and when not to visit me in the basement where I was staying. They also bickered only once, compared to the dozen when I had last seen them. Anyways, my point is, I like my cousins now, and enjoy their company.
